hi,

I just installed ubuntu server 8.10 and now I cannot login. The password for the dencryption of the disk works fine but when I try to login as a user then it says my password is invalid!

The very first time that I did this then I notice it said User Added but then I could not do a sudo update or anything. So I restarted and then it would not log me in at all. I am sure that I entered my username correctly when I did the installation process.

What am I doing wrong?

forget it. I solved it by reinstalling.
