Well, a complete reinstall wouldn't hurt, but you might try
typing "linux single" at the LILO prompt and boot into
single user mode and then type "passwd root" and change the

As for the KDE problem, maybe if you downloaded and
installed the updated files from the home site for your
distribution? I updated my RedHat 6.0 install to kde 1.1.1
using the RPM files in the "update" directory and it's
working great! :-)
