need help logging into solaris

I am new to this, I just got my solaris dvd set, I have installed it and I tried several times to log in, but I keep running into the same issue, I am able to input my login name, but it refuses to let me type in my password, it doesn't matter what I type, nothing happens, no letters no astrix's (*) I just don't know whats going on.

PS for those who are wondering how I am able to post here, i am running the Ubuntu live cd, that way I can bypass the seemingly defective login screen of my solaris 10 operating system and connect to the internet.

yes I hit return several times and it said that the password was incorrect,

and are you saying that its not supposed to show up as I type it, or was that one of your questions, if so, then yeah, there were no characters echoed to the screen.
