I just reinstalled my system to try to get around this blue-screen boot-up problem
So, you did the "archive and install", correct?
but now it asks for a password to log in.
So, you get a log-in screen at the end of the boot process? (FWIW, in future, you should be able to by-pass this by setting "auto log-in.)
I input the password I was using in the old system and it just hangs up forever on the "logging in" window.
Hmm, might not be easy to track down the reason for that.
What can I do?
Well, you could create a new password. Start up from your OS X install CD and when you get to the installer window, choose "reset password" from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. Make sure your HD icon is selected. Where it says "Select a user of this volume... choose your user name from the available choices, then type in a new password (twice) and hit save. Then quit the Installer, restart from your HD and see if your new password gets you logged in.
