Wrong keymap?
Have you tried to log in via the tty? By pressing crtl+alt+F2?

Why do you use kali?
Have you read the article pinned in this forum about kali Linux?
 
Try logging in with "kali" for username. Or follow the instructions in the link below. The install probably failed to create the user account "root" because there is already one in /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd. When following the walk through it maybe worth while checking /etc/shadow for all the accounts available. The newest ones should be at the bottom. If you don't see a user account, you could probably still change root's password or create an account with sudo privileges as normal. Just replace root with the user account name.
