Thanks, it worked when the username and core password were different.

What computer are you using?
Just as a quick overview YDL 3 and earlier are best used for G3 and earlier
based Macs. The current version is YDL 4.0.1 which many modern G4 and G5
Macs utilize best.
Regarding login and password one easy thing which many overlook: Are you
sure that your Cap Lock key is not active? Perhaps your password may be
lowercase, but you may have missed that you may be instead typing upper
case. If this simple issue is not a contributor to what is going on, then
perhaps there is a record somewhere of the password and username you
originally set when you were yet installing YDL? That username and
password is what is being looked for at the first login.
If there is no record anywhere of what that is or you can't remember it;
you can reset it depending upon which Mac you have as there are different
boot and emergency procedures for different models using different versions
of YDL.
If you choose to attempt one more reinstall, this time set up a separate
password for root and a separate user password for a user account for most
activities which won't require root access. As a precaution they shouldn't
be the same password. In addition, set up your login option so that your
first login is set for text, not the login user interface.
This will present the opportunity that if necessary (like this situation)
you will have direct access to a terminal providing at least limited access
to key emergency functions as root or superuser. The graphic based user
login prevents that; although there are ways around that to.
Best wishes...
