'Account disabled' after install - how do I login?

[fiyahfury]

I did a fresh install of Elementary on a laptop. It's at what I presume is the login screen but with no apparent way to log in.

I did notice that while setting up my username, password and device name, once i entered my password, the dialogue box grew in height (to allow for the captions on both the password fields), resulting in the confirmation buttons getting cut off the screen with no way to scroll down to see them. I pressed Enter to proceed instead. Now I wonder if pressing Enter activated some default action that I don't want?

I did try to just install again (fresh install means nothing to lose anyway!) but if I physically turn the laptop off and on again, it just goes back to the login screen instead of booting. Not sure what to do beyond leaving its battery to drain.

Sounds like a duplicate of elementary/initial-setup#222 and fixed by elementary/greeter#879 which is not yet released. For now rebooting the system from the popover opened from the right side of the top panel should resolve this issue as a workaround.

Thank you! (This is my first time using Github; I didn't realise there was a bugs forum as well as a Q&A forum, or I would have looked there first.)
