hello... i am still unable to log into my system, however, i am a little wiser than before.
here is what i know: -i am unable to log into my system. the system boots as usual, at the login prompt i login (either normal user or root), give my password and get a "login incorrect" -i am able to log into single user mode (with my root password, so the password must be working still) but i have no idea what i could do there to get back into the system. -i am able to boot from a rescue disk, but again, i am unable to login. -i assume the whole problem was caused by manually running fsck...it started automatically on boot-up (the UT installation had caused some errors i think) and then prompted me to run fsck manually, which i did, answering yes to all the questions...after it was finished everything seemed to work, except i couldn't log into the system... -i think the problem has something to do with the root system being miounted as read-only, but i am not sure of thet and i don't know how to fix it, i tried to mount -o remount rw / from the single user mode and i tried to start with giving lilo the additional rw parameter...neither of those things changed anything though. does anyone know how to get back into my system? thanks a lot! vester
