System:
This is a Powerbook G4 running Leopard.
Problem:
Computer boots, I see the login screen, type my password and then read the line says "logging in...". I see the basic blue background and then the cursor for a little while. Then it throws me back to the login screen again. I am more than 100% sure that the password is correct.
Solutions I have tried:
Booting in safe mode / won't login
Booting in Single User Mode and then deleting the com.apple.loginwindow.plist file to force the system create a new one
Zapping PRAM and booting in safe mode
Single User Mode - I did fsck and no errors found.
None of the above worked for me. I am wondering what the problem could be. I don't have another mac that I can backup my data using firewire cable. I am looking for a fix without installing the whole operating system from scratch or a way that I can save my data.
What do you think the problem could be? Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
