Okay, that may be your problem right there. For whatever inscrutable 
reason, Linux (and most Unix-like operating systems including Mac OS X) 
will only allow lowercase letters in the username. Don't question it or 
try to change it, it's The Linux Way(TM).

Also, just in case, make sure your caps lick key is not engaged, as the 
password DOES allow upper and lower case letters (and requires them when 
you enter your password later).

Good luck. Your main frustration is in trying to interact with your 
computer as if it were a reasonable human being. It might be a human 
being on some days, but it is never reasonable.

Best wishes,
Clint
