Hi Jeff
In order to activate crossover you will need to be root it is asking for (your system login password) then you will give crossover your user name an password you used with Codeweavers when you bought the program.
My registration is also failing on the screen that asks me my email address and password; which I'm entering correctly.
It appears to be an issue with it phoning home.
We attempt to call 'su' in some reasonable way for people on a variety of platforms, but the means to do this are sufficiently diverse on various flavors of linux that there are always places where it fails. File a support ticket and we can help get you going - there are just varieties of window manager where this stuff breaks.
