Another option to reinstalling is to do the following: 1) reboot the system. 2) when it gets to the point when it starts counting down from 9 to 0, hit the space bar. 3) You should get an 'ok>' prompt 4) type 'boot -s' 5) You should get a # prompt 6) type 'mount -a' 7) type 'passwd root' 8) Enter your root password Reboot!
