    I installed Debian 4 for the first time and set up mhespd as pasword. now on first boot I can't logon. it says bad pasword. the same for the root account. I reinstalled the system and set an easy pasword. That works. SInce this is company laptop I have to set the pasword like I did before. How can I solve this?

    Log in and try to set the other password again:
    Code:
    password [I]username[/I]
    Replace username with the appropriate user.
