I wonder if it's the hyphen character. Maybe the installer transforms
that into an underscore, or omits it entirely? That's just a guess.
Anyway, try logging in as "dede" or "de_de", just to see if one of those
works. Otherwise, you'll need to boot in rescue mode (or any equivalent
of your choice), and look at the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files.
See what happened.
