Hi Marco, bad and ugly: Boot into grub menu (I only know this for grub, other bootmangers should have similiar). Inhibtit automatic boot by moving the select bar up and down with the cursor keys. If you have locked grub with a password (you have?) enter "p" and enter the password. Move the select bar onto the commandline, which give the kernel parameter. Press "e" for edit. Goto the end of the line Enter ' 2' after the last parameter. Press "b" for "boot". You will end up on a commandline and you will be able to login. By the way: By giving " init=/bin/sh" instead of " 2" you can bypass the root and any other login. Thats why it is important to lock grub with a passsword. Thats only my lightspeed, your time machine brand may vary ;) HTH Good luck! mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
