Try <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<F1>, then login as root. I think kuser probably forgot to run
pwd_mkdb -- lucky for you :-)
If that doesn't work, follow the instructions for a "forgotten root password"
('tis in the FAQ). When you're in single user mode, try `grep root /etc/master.passwd'.
If something comes back, type `passwd root' to reset root's password. If nothing comes
back,
you'll have to add a line for root manually in /etc/master.passwd. Then run pwd_mkdb
/etc/master.passwd.
Whatever you do, type `exit' or <Ctrl>+D now.
