Hmm.
I don't understand what you mean by a "bios name": do you mean that the
screen is mostly black with white writing? As that's a traditional
console. Your user-name and password should work there, as should
root's.
Come to that, root should work at the graphical login prompt. It's not
recommended for every-day usage, but it should work.
What *is* coming up with [FAILED]?
You should be able to use the rescue CD or boot in single-user mode to
reset root's password if that's lost.
Hope this helps,
James.
