Hi, Im having trouble logging into my laptop. It takes forever to get past the grey screen with the pinwheel. A couple of wks ago I could only get the blue screen of death and nothing else now sometimes it just skips the "starting mac osx part and goes straight to the login part but my username and passwords won't work the screen just shakes. I tried doing the whole single user mode (fsky -y), pressing alt, zapping the pram etc. I don't have the start up disks(they're in another country). However when I do log into single user mode I get the cannot find root user message. I don't know if that's why I can't log on?
I know my laptop is a piece of crap (5yrs old, keyboard is broken and among other things) I just want to get a few things off of it.
Also would it help to know that I was playing around with a magnitized remote before this all happened and it made a strange noise...?
