Yesterday I forced a shutdown on my iMac G5.
Today I can't login: it appears a different login window (it seems two
windows getting over each other) and it don't accept my password!
I did a reboot by my install dvd and I repaired the disk and the
permissinons it (there were errors) but it didn't solve my problmem.
Then I did another reboot for resetting the password (I didn't forget
it) but when I choice the disk it tells me "no available users", so I
can't reset anything. The log install output is:
localhost : Open /Volumes/iMac G5/var/db/netinfo/local.nidb failed :
No Root Record in Datastore
I can't go on and I'm a little be worried about it.
Try booting in target disk mode,
and look for user files to salvage.
(if there is anything you definitely need)
You'll need to borrow another mac though.
Next try a reinstall of the system,
with the option Archive and install,
and hope for the best.
You do have a back-up?
