Is /dev/tty00 marked as 'secure' in /dev/ttys?

Are you really, really sure you use the correct password? Can you login
as root using this password? From the same keyboard, etc? If you type
the password where you can see it (make sure it doesn't get stored
anywhere!), does it match what you want to type?

Failing that, you can always try debugging with ktrace(1)...
