Sounds
like a basic invalid username/password.
The
hanging is just a security thing so that you can't try passwords as fast as your
security cracking program can generate them.
Log in
as root and look closely at the user account. Check that it is not
de-activated. Give it a new password incase you mistyped the one thats in
there.
Watch
the case too. Is your caps lock on?
