Failure to accept login

I've just started my pi for the first time.  All SEEMS well, and leads to "raspberrypi login", to which I answer "pi",  then "Password", to which I answer "suse" (as instructed in the manual).  Response is "Incorrect login".  What do I do now?  I had downloaded DEBIAN on my PC and ported it to 4GbSD card, as instructed.  Then, to make use of the whole of the SD card, I shifted the workspace up and expanded the Debian area up as far as possible.

 

Both leds respond as predicted, and the opening texts make sense, but no logging on!  Help!

    I have a similar problem. I use 'pi' and 'raspberry' as instructed but the system rejects it.

    Rob,

      There is a troubleshooting guide at

    http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting

    which includes section 8 on displays.

    Section 8.4 is probably what you need.

     

    There is also a troubleshooting forum at:

    Many thanks!  Great.  Problem solved!  MY led TV, via HDMI, is now underscanning, so the left edge is off-screen, but I'll find another TV and try again.  At least I'm IN (after two frustrating days).

    If you are both using Debian6-19-04-2012 version the password has changed to 'raspberry' .

     

    Arch (at least my copy is) Username : root    Password: root

    Ive just experienced the same login problem. It wont accept 'Pi' and 'suse' as username & password as per instructions in Getting Started. I tried this with debian-13-04-2012.img loaded. I also tried archlinuxarm-27-03-2012; What are the default username & password for this?
