If the touchpad doesn't work then log a bug. Maverick is beta, it's NOT ready and NOT stable. If you need an OS that works then install Lucid, if you want to help the project but do not mind an OS full of functionality holes and bugs, use Maverick.

Did you have capslock on at any point in the whole process. I suggest you reboot back to root recovery mode and type the password on the prompt to check what is being inputted is correct, ten set the password to something really simple like 123456, you can then log in and change the password there.
