      I bought a waveshare display which I had to download the drivers to make it work.I downloaded the drivers and everytime it booted up it appear that the root account is blocked, and on a trip I can't do anything with an SNES controller.
      What can I do to make it boot normally while having the drivers installed.

        Please add more information about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

        How did you install the drivers ? The root account doesn't have a password on the default Retropie image, you need to use the pi user and sudo to gain root access or run commands as root.
