KDM as me to enter password twise

I am using KDEmod, when I turn on computer, KDM ask me to enter password twise before it will continue loading KDE.

The first time I enter password, screen goes black and go back to KDM again. Only on second try it continues normally.

What do you think case this to happen?

This bug report looks like it is the same problem:

Re: KDM as me to enter password twise

Two temporary alternative suggestions, until the problem is fixed:
1. Use passwordless logins, set that using systemsettings as root.
2. Use slim or any other DM.

Re: KDM as me to enter password twise

Can I just log in from terminal and do startx or xinit?

What do I need to do for that? just remove kdm from daemons in config file?

No need. Just edit your /etc/inittab and change to init 3 from init 5, and at the bottom change kdm to xdm.
