I once installed using a keyboard with a failed zed key. I chose a root password with a zed in it. Caused some puzzlement when I replaced the kbd:-)Anthony
Sorry for this follow-up, but I've now discovered what the original problem with the passwords was. The console keymap has somehow gone wrong and is not generating the correct UK symbols for # ~ @ . This may have happened in today's update from Sid - I'm not sure. Anyway, the passwords I was using contained these characters so they were coming out wrong when I typed them, but of course I couldn't see that!
So at least I hadn't been compromised - relief!
