Well, hmmm...
At the install point, there really are not a lot of restrictions on the password you choose.
My next best guess is that the password you entered and the confirm password field did not match.
The screenshot shows login automatically. I think the username needs either to lose the space between the initials or add an underscore between initials and surname. ( _ ).
In terms of going back to Zorin 16, that is a problem as it is based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS which expires (Ebd of Life support) at the end of this month.
" Linux Distributions with IA32 EFI
Several Linux distributions support IA32 EFI, which is necessary for booting on systems with 32-bit UEFI firmware. Here are some options:
- Lubuntu : Known for being lightweight and performant on Intel Silvermont-based "Bay Trail" CPUs, Lubuntu is a good choice for older x86_64-based tablets and similar hardware.
- Fedora : Supports 32-bit EFI with GRUB or direct EFI stub boot, making it a viable option for systems requiring 32-bit EFI support.
- Debian : Offers multiarch images that support both 32-bit and 64-bit installations, including support for 32-bit EFI.
- MX Linux : While MX Linux itself does not include a 32-bit EFI bootloader by default, it is possible to install the necessary components manually.
- Peppermint : A fast and lightweight Debian-based distribution that supports 32-bit systems and is suitable for older hardware.
- AntiX Linux : Prioritizes speed and efficiency, making it a good choice for older machines with 32-bit architecture.
These distributions can be installed using a USB drive with the appropriate EFI bootloader, such as bootia32.efi , which can be obtained from repositories like the one mentioned in the GitHub repository by lamadotcare.

Very good point. I was thinking of length limits, not character limits.
