Can't login w/ admin acct

[prostudent]

OS 10.4.7, G4 iBook

Says: Unable to login user account at this time.

Can still login fine with other user account.

Ran Disk Utility, verified, said its fine; repaired permissions, didn't help.

When I try to access the sparseimage, says disk image failed to mount, no mountable file systems.

I shut down the computer while it was doing a secure trash empty; slows my comp way down, and it wouldn't let me stop emptying. I'm guessing this is why my computer is now acting like it is.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you find a fix?

Theoretically, you can use the Master Password when you run Disk Utility on the sparse image.

Drag the icon to the left side of Disk Utility (to where the disks are listed) then select it in Disk Utility and click repair.

You generally set a Master Password before File Vaulting a user account.
