Does anyone know how to get around a system that is stuck in login? After installing Developer Tools for 10.2 (and I have 10.2.3 installed) I logged out for good measure and havent been able to log back in ever since. The only thing I can do a cold shut-down. Oh - I can also boot into 9 with the install disk, but I don't know what to do once I'm in there.

Can you be more specific? Does the login window come up? What happens when you enter your password?

After I click on my name and enter my password, the screen says something like "Logging in..." and the status bar starts, but that's as far as it gets--the status bar just keeps rolling and it never takes me to the desktop (I've let it sit there for as long as 5 mins.).
