Hmmm happens when the password file ceases to exist. Best I can think - at
the lilo prompt, try the parameter init=/bin/sh
You should directly drop into a shell. mount your root partition as rw:
# mount -o remount,rw /
check/open your /etc/passwd and /etc/group. If the passwd file doesn't exist,
you'll have to make a new one.
remount / in ro mode:
# mount -o remount,ro /
reboot the machine - you should be able to log in...
