That is a good point in that if an error occurred setting up a username 
and password, which is relatively simple I wonder what other unnamed 
items failed.

A reinstall with a check for bad blocks on the partition may well be a 
good idea as there may be a number of items which you do not know about 
that could easily cause problems later, after you have invested time 
setting up your environment.
Kind regards
