[SATLUG] microsloth help

[country]

when I installed pro (upgrade from 2000) all went well tell last reboot and
it came back and asks for password, and 1st did not put one in there, so did
the backdoor on it and put one in there and added an acct with root access
and neither are recognized by the system...

can I format the hd and do a full install somehow ???   I'm really
frustrated with it...
