Slackware Linux 8.1

Hi,

I just installed Slackware Linux 8.1..everything..went smoothly and then when I booted comp...went ok..and here is the problem..::
On the login name parts it says:
Login name:...
password :...

I typed my login name and my password, but always says "login incorrect".
I thought my problem is..I misstyped my login name and my password during installation and I tried to uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times already and I still have some problem:login incorrect.

any part went wrong???

cheerssss

Since I get that it is your own box..
do this..

Insert your slackware 8.1 CD and press enter to any question..

when the cd tells you: Now is the time to FDISK and INSTALL etc..

you type this:

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt or hda2 or hdb1 etc... wherever your linux is..

then

pico /mnt/etc/shadow

then remover the MD5 hashes of the passwords and save

[ctrl]+[O] (I believe)

after a reboot you should be passwordless...

yupe that's works jink...thanks alot for that....but is it secure passwordless??

Woops forgot the final stage..

after reboot... type (as root) passwd that let's you change your password...

also do so with the other users..

he..he..he it's work man...thanks alot..might be this information helps..for anyone..

Thanks jinx I owe you a nice of croquet from ductch

LOL...Sweet Angel, you amaze me. You struggle to write a legible sentence yet you seem quite at home with RedHat and now you're running Slack.... :D Either you're some kind of mad genius or the right side of your brain is bigger than the left!

Yupe conf1rm3d_k1ll ..I'm using Red hat for my laptop..but I'm still searching of LINUX distros for my choice..cause I'm sick of microsoft.
I've been doing research of any kind of LINUX distro's..(I have mandrake,red hat,Gentoo,slackware..and Lycoris<<<theese distros's I've got from my lab research).

And I am not mad genius..LOL...I'am just a girl with a hungry of" linux knowledge"....But even though I've been doing alot of research I have alot time to do my hobies...surffffffff...on the surfboard...hehehe..
Cheerss

Hope ya didn't take what I was saying as an insult....It was meant as a compliment. That's about as close as I get......

Cof1rm3nd_k1ll ..Noo..noo it wasn't insult at all......trust me......I just explaning my situation(and I'm still learing alot of *nix thing..)...And BTW I'm very shy a girl..that's compliment make me blushh..
