Either you have problems with this one or a link is missing.

You surely can boot into a level 1 (single-user mode). This should not use pam at all. Then you can fix it. Even bringing a network up, if you need fresh copies of some packages, should be possible. In the worst case you can boot "rescue" from CD and use that to straighten things.
