I'm such a newbie I can't even ssh into my box.

I use putty and enter my ip. it asks for a login. I give my linode username. it says it sent it and asks for a password. This is where the cursor freezes and i can't type anymore. If I press enter it says access is denied.

what do I do....

It is by design that the password prompt doesn't move. Just type in your password and hit <Enter>

The same username and password as when I sign into my members section on the linode website.

The username you should be using for your ssh is 'root'. Try that.
