Am 11. Jul, 2016 schwätzte Bob Holtzman so: moin moin Bob,
Running a new hard drive in my Thinkpad 420 laptop and trying to install jessie. Everything went fine until it failed to configure the net work with dns. Strange, since I had a good connection to the modem and was getting a signal at the ethernet connection where the cable connected to the laptop. That wasn't a show stopper since I could configure manually once the installation was complete. The installation proceeded smoothly to the end and I tried to log in. That's where the wheels came off. The os wouldn't take the password no matter how many tries there were.
Have you tried from a virtual terminal as well as from X? I'm certain you know how to get there, but just in case you don't remember... <ctrl><alt><f1> ciao, der.hans
I've run into this before and it always ended in a reinstall, which didn't always solve the problem.
