your login/passwd should be root/111111
Either this is the correct login/passwd, else it gives Login incorrect.

If it still doesn't work, then type instead of 'linux' at the
lilo prompt, 'linux single', which will put you in a minimal linux
environment (single mode, no networking, etc..., but 'fail-safe')
No login will be required, you'll get a root shell.

There you can change the root passwd, view /etc/passwd, or whatever
To change your passwd (of the guy behind the prompt, i.e. root),
just type
# passwd

If it still doesn't work, you have a problem. Call 911!
