Yeah, never got that... I tried the Safeboot option, but that did not 
help. Also tried the Rescue option on the boot cd, was able to log in as 
root with no password on that, but running passwd gave me some kind of 
error:

User not known to the underlying authentication module

I looked at the passwd file in /etc, nothing like that, just Rescue, 
root, bin daemon, lp, mail, news, uucp, games, man, wwwrun, ftp, nobody, 
messagebus, haldaemon.
Can I log in as nobody?

Thanks!
