Hello everybody. I'm farly new to OSX world, but i have been using and repairing DOS/Windows for at least 20 years.

Now, my MacBook would boot, and when i input the password, it does like it is ok, starts to boot, and it goes back to the log-in screen.

I'm sure the password is ok, cause if i enter another password, the log-in box shakes.

I then boot with the Leopard boot disk, and run the reapir utilities. It found some errors and told it to repair them

Rebooted to OSX, but same issue.

Any ideas?

Boot from the Leopard disk, go to Utilities and change the password.
