To log in to your account, KDE displays the login manager. Until KDE is covered in more detail, you will be using the command-line login and not the KDE environment.

1. CTRL-ALT-F1 will bring you to the command-line login.

2. Type username ( Login ID) at the prompt (hostname login:) and press return.

3. Type your password at the password prompt and press return.

Tip: Your password does not appear as you type it. By default, if you do not have a password, you are prompted for one during the initial login.
