-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A couple more comments, sorry about the double post. I did want to point out that even though your friend hasn't changed her password, it is possible that /etc/shadow and/or /etc/passwd got corrupted. Also, in the correctly spelled second thread, someone suggested using single user mode. However, as far as I know, you still have to login even then, so that might not work.
