[QUOTE="Kengele, post: 1163821, member: 184792"] Hi... I had a similar problem today. I restarted and the login refused my password several times, and then asked if I wanted to change the password as administrator. Since I am the administrator, I thought that wouldn't help. From then on the only login option was the Guest account. Eventually I used my Guest account and browsed the net to find a solution. I came across [URL="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2644133&start=18&tstart=0"]this link[/URL] on another forum and I followed the instructions in shell. This worked a dream. If you have a look and follow the instructions there, it might help solve your problem, which seems very similar. I think the whole issue in my case might have been created by removing a USB external drive incorrectly. Good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
