I am having an issue at the main login screen, it installed just fine but i cant login despite having the correct password.
I am running version 4.2.2 i am not dual booting it is a standalone system on a desktop. I used a usb boot device to install.
What version of Parrot are you running? (include version, edition, and architecture)
What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)
Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)

This is easy to fix. Apply following command how root in account that have this issue.
The cause is .Xautority was write improperly.
ctrl + alt + f4
use root credentials to login in black terminal
#rm file in /home/your-user-account-with-error/.Xautority
Not have fear, the system will be create an new file .Xautority writed correctly in next boot.
in black terminal #exit and ctrl+alt+del the system will be do reboot. Now do login normaly
Iām using my Parrot now, after fixed in this mode, in the same session. Be happy!
i would also like to add that this could occur as a cause of full space on hardisk as i just encountered if you harddisk is full just clear it and delete the .Xauthority file and your problem should be fixed
I also, have a similar issue, I deleted the .xAuthority file, reinstalled lightdm and xorg but nothing helps, after entering password it tries to load main screen but comes back to login screen, I even created other account to login, but this happens with them too
