I tried to reset the password with the CD, didn't work. I tried the method mentioned here, boot into single user etc. When I used this method, the computer couldn't find the file, ie no such user root, or System Administrator, or my login name. I am currently using X from my second (slowwwww) drive and am trying to avoid doing a new install. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you enable root access?
"root" access is off by default in OS X as a security feature. You first need to enable root access. Open NetInfo Manager (in Utilities), and choose Domain->Security->Enable Root User.
Did you enable root access?
Root is enabled. I am not able to login to the GUI at start up. I just get the shaking login screen.
Did you enable root access?
If files are missing, perhaps you have damaged directory structure. DiskWarrior is OS X compliant so you might try that. You can run DiskWarrior from the 9.1 partition or from the CD.
Did you enable root access?
I think you damaged your NetInfo-structure, I've had that once, but was able to fix it.
This happened to me too :(
I had this happen just a couple of days ago. Sadly after much flailing I decided the only thing I could do was start over.
Did you enable root access?
I have this same log-in, screwed-up administrative functions problem. I did a complete software restore and that fixed the problem for three days but then it reappeared. I have read posts on this site and on Apple's discussion board. One thing I notice is that everyone who struggles with this problem, as far as I can tell, is using a G4 machine. I have a G3 Lombard Powerbook in addition to a new G4 Quicksilver. I have the same configurations on both machines, the same software installed, and do the very same things with each. The problem has not occurred on the G3. There are a lot of people experiencing this problem, and I hope Apple addresses it in 10.1. By the way, for what it's worth, one person with this problem (from the Apple discussion board) was using a beige machine with a G4 processor upgrade card.

I just upgraded to "Mavericks" and have 3 major issues with it: |
