enforcing =0 should work.
are you putting it the right area in grub/lilo?
also you should be able to just change
/etc/selinux/config
set to permissive mode to avoid using the boot command line.
or
setenforce 0
and
echo 0> /selinux/enforce
to put the policy in permissive mode until things get cleaned.

SELinux has to be completely DISABLED for anybody to log in. Changing
/etc/selinux/config to a permissive mode is of no use.
I am thinking about trying to change all booleans from deny to allow (wow,
what a monstrous task). After all, that is how this trouble started in the
first place.

yeah but booleans don't mess with the
MBR or the bootloader of the kernel?
No, they are part of the policy image (if set persistently).
But the booleans only affect what allow rules are enabled at any given
time. If the system is in permissive mode, then the boolean settings
shouldn't prevent anything from working; they will just affect what avc
denials get logged.
enforcing=0 on the kernel command line or SELINUX=permissive
in /etc/selinux/config should resolve any SELinux-related denials.
Out of curiosity, you didn't happen to change the xserver_object_manager
boolean, did you?
It was the unconfined_login boolean that got him.
So disabling unconfined_login boolean stopped him from being able to login?

Still confused on how he was not able to use lilo/grub
command option.(unless he was putting enforcing/selinux
on the wrong line.
As for the unconfined_login I can see how they got stuck
(probably needed to make enableaudit to see the extra denials).
