I can still boot into single user mode. Safe mode does not work. I tried creating a new account via the deletion of the startup file and went through all of that and it still does not work. I can access the files on the iMac from my MBP because FileSharing is enabled. Unfortunately I did not enable Remote Login on the iMac before I had the problem. Since I can boot into the root account via SUM, I assume that I could turn on Remote Login if I knew what to do. I have tried /sbin/service ssh start while in SUM but when I restarted I have been unable to ssh into the system which tells me that login is refused or words something like that. Any ideas? Thanks.
