Unable to login

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.

[Editor's note: Anyone seen anything like this? It appears that the Users data is either missing or damaged, based on James' description of the symptoms...but that's a semi-wild guess on my part...]
