Other Help Topics :: Login PRoblems

Hello,
-I am new to Linux and found an old dell latitude with a pentium 2 processor and 64 meg ram and 6 gigs of memory.
-I cleaned the system, partitioned the hard disk, and installed everything fine.
-I loaded linux but when i shut down, and i log back up, i cannot seem to get back in.
-THere is no prompt or anywhere for me to enter my passord, which i have already chose.
-May be a simple mistake, but help is gladly appreciated.
