Did you set a password ?

 

Try 
User : root
Pass : toor

You sure you didn't have capslock or anything ?

Is it a fresh install ?
if so.. maybe just redo it ?

I didn't have capslock on. And yes it is a fresh install.

 

I don't really want to redo it because it took a really long time to install it, but I will do it just in case

Boot into recovery mode then reset the root password using passwd.

Chroot into the root drive and change the password using passwd.

If After entering your username and password and hitting enter again presents you the login screen the problem might be in the latest version of dbus as most login managers struggle with latest dbus
