[ubuntu-in] Unable to log in normal Ubuntu account

[tabankg]

Sorry Friends!!! I had inadvertently mentioned *ttyS1* instead of
*ttyp1*(CONSOLE
Screen) in my letter.Please forgive me for this error.
I had created a root account in Ubuntu-8.04(GNU/Linux) shell,by "passwd
root" command in # while logging in as the root account in text format,by
logging in through the "RECOVERY MODE" installed by default ,i.e.the second
line to normal logging of Ubuntu-8.04.
