Is your CapsLock key on? Are you sure you're inputting the correct user/password? – bedwyr Dec 24 '10 at 3:53

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Maybe you put the wrong password in both times when installing it. That seriously happened to me once, and the only way (as far as I know) to remedy this is to do a clean reinstall. Which, seeing as how this is a clean install, shouldn't be much of an issue.
