Hi, I bet you didn't read your manual properly or follow the instalation
instructions to the letter, but not to worry it has happend to thousands
of us before you, I suggest you read your manual and reinstall and pay
particular attention to any mention of a password and write down your
entry so you don't forget it, and remember that Linux is case sensitve.
