[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1643480, member: 56379"] "Help Required"…"Help Needed"…or just "Help"…is pretty much what 90% of folks visiting Mac-Forums need. So for a thread to "stand out" and have better visibility...a better thread title would really be better!:) Something like: - "MacBook Pro Locked Up" - "MacBook Pro Really Slow" - "MacBook Pro Won't Accept Password" See how fast & easy I came up with those.:) Anyways…food for thought.:) Here are some things to consider regarding the problem: - Wrong Password (probably not…but always possible) - Hard drive could have died or dying. - Hard drive could be full. One way to investigate further is to boot the computer from a bootable OS DVD…or a bootable external HD (bootable means there's a compatible OS installed on it). HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
