Login Screen

Someone please help! I'm desperate! I restarted my powerbook tonight, all normal, and for the first time ever a login screen popped up asking for my name and password. I thought: weird, but fine, I'll just type in my name (the same one my computer's registered under) and the password I always use when downloading new programs and need to authenticate it. Strange, it didn't work. I've been at it for hours now trying to come up with new ways to access it. I've tried everything and it isn't working. Then I tried to reset the password using the OS X disk, but when I went to utilities to find the account name, I don't see one there. The only account option is System Administrator (root). Wild guess, that's not the one I want! So now I'm freaking out. Please somebody help me! I have midterms this week and I just wrote a 7 page paper. I can't lose it!
 
Try to reset roots password and login using that account. From there you might be able to access the other user (given that it still exists and all)
