You wont be able to login. I wonder if it's the hyphen character. Maybe the installer transforms that into an underscore, or omits it entirely? That's just a guess. Anyway, try logging in as "dede" or "de_de", just to see if one of those works. Otherwise, you'll need to boot in rescue mode (or any equivalent of your choice), and look at the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files. See what happened.
