Hi,

at the login window, make sure that your normal user name is also showing and not just "Guest", press the arrow keys and both your normal user name and that of guest should show, click on your name and then try again!.

Hi,

if you have problems with your password in the future, take a look at the update guide which also covers this problem by resetting the PW!:
