Unhappy Leopard Upgrade--Can't get past Login Screen

Hi all,
I upgraded my G4 Silver from 10.4.9 to 10.5. I never required myself to login on startup. After up grading to 10.5 the login screen comes up with the only account "Other". Stumped in what to do. I did repair permissions.
Any ideas??
Thanks

If using "other", and you type your username (short or long name) and the password, can you log in or do you get an error?

I get no error. The password goes blank after the computer tries to log in.
I even rebooted with the install DVD and changed the password too make sure I know what it is.

Do you use a US keyboard ? If not, the computer may think you do.

Fixed. Did a archive and install instead of an upgrade. Apple turds red again. They need to go in for a rectal exam/probing to rid of the cancerous tumors in the system.
