Have you tried "sudo su"? Or CTRL+F[1-6] and "passwd" because the |
| 12 |
consoles are logged in automatically... |

Are you using the 2006.0 and following the old guide? Because what you |
| 21 |
refer is for manual install, you don't get the X system in this type |
| 22 |
of install... |

The password is scrambled for security reasons, you can change it... |

Get a LiveCD that is designed for testing... The Gentoo one is for |
| 38 |
Gentoo install. |
| 39 |
I've used specially made Knoppix CDs for testing/fixing. There are |
| 40 |
instructions on how to make your own Gentoo LiveCD at gentoo.org (you |
| 41 |
can add whatever you want this way). |
