I tried downloading Ubuntu 14.04 onto my old windows vista laptop. The installation went fine, but when i loaded it up for the first time I got to this screen:
Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Linux tty1
Linux login:
password:
I can put in the login just fine, but when I click enter and attempt to input a password no matter which keys I press, nothing appears under password. By continually clicking enter I get this:
Login incorrect
Linux login:
password:
And the process continues on and on, making me unable to complete the first time boot up! I tried changing my password in the grub terminal, but it didn't do anything in the long run. Please help! I want to be able to use Ubuntu Desktop but I can't with this mysterious discrepancy!

s. But trust me, you are typing in your password, and if you type it correctly, and press ENTER, it will log you in, however the security feature means you just won't be able to see that you are typing it in.
