My LL 1.0.8 install to hdd has just started asking me to login and I have tried a number of things but am still locked out.

The words were:

Code:
linuxlite xxxx login:

(Where xxxx were some numbers that i do not recall.)

After I type the name I inserted at install time and push enter it asks for my password which I put in and then it just asks me to login again. At present I am working from LL live cd.

This is the first restart after my Menu muckup which was not fixable, so I wonder if more than the Menu has been mucked up...
Did you reformat all the partitions when you reinstalled?

Hi Valtam,
I have not reinstalled yet. I am locked out of the 'mucked up menu' install.

If 'getting in' is going to be a big deal, I will just reinstall or continue using the live cd; I presume that I can get persistence using the live cd by saving at shutdown to hdd or flash drive.
