Hello, yesterday I tried installing the sony puppy fingerprint id unit. Once I installed the software my mac (g5 dual 2.0) booted normally and at the end of booting a black screen appears which says Edoardo's-computer and asks for login. I know nothing about darwin or unix but I believe it should be the console or something. If I put my username and password as login itsays it is incorrect and nothing happens. I tried logging as root and it enters correctly but then asks for root# Really I don't know what to do, I would just like for the GUI to load but I have no idea how to make this happen and how to login. Can anyone give me some help, or I think I will have to reformat everything!
Thanks

A black screen means that you are in single user mode ( a terminal unix environment with white text and no gui). To get to the gui type in "reboot" and press return..let me know if that has helped at all? Good Luck.

regards,
