Hey, JP.

The file system being read-only has nothing to do with your login
problem.  I do not recognize what is going on with your login
problem, and cannot help you there, but I can advise you on the
read-only status.  You can issue a mount command to remount (or
initially mount) the filesystems you need to try to solve your
problem.  I won't try to tell you which filesytems you need or
want, but many people will use a "mount -a" after single-user
boot to do system maintenance.
