I have a blue G3 running Panther. I've been using it for a couple of years. One random day I tried to start it up and it goes through the steps to boot up. It loads, but stops progressing at "Login Window Starting" and goes no further. I bought this mac from a friend, and I do not have the panther disk. I have a Tiger disk for my Mac Mini, but I don't think that will help me.

Can someone please help me by telling me what I can do to be able to get into my mac?
I've been trying to solve this problem for a couple of months now, and even went to buy a HD enclosure (I really really need the files off of this G3) but the enclosure with my G3 HD will not mount on my Mac Mini.

I just want to get this thing to log me in!!! Please help!!!
