I'm going round and round with my Mac right this moment and one thing that could fix it nicely would be a Linux live boot image that I could run on the mac and mount the main drive which, thank every deity that exist, is not encrypted. I was smart enough not to fall in to that trap. Apple has locked down their latest update to osx and the normal method for running it in single-user mode appears to no longer work. If I could mount the system drive, I can bypass all this securinoia and fix the problem. Thanks for any and all constructive suggestions.
