In case you're still around, go back to the crouton page and click on community instructions, which you'll find in the original instructions.

I'm familiar with this issue, it's happened to me a lot:

  1. Login as chronos in the VT-2 terminal ctrl+alt+->

  2. Type sudo enter-chroot -n "chroot_name" -u root
    This logs into the chroot as the root user, which is already there before chroot creation is complete

  3. Then, once in the chroot, type sudo useradd "username" -m -G sudo to add a new user (with setuid 1000) and add him to the sudoers group.

  4. After that, use sudo passwd "username" to set a password for your newly created user

  5. Type exit to leave the chroot environment.

Enter-chroot should now log you in as the user you just created with no additional steps.

sudo enter-chroot -n "chroot_name"
