Nope, doesnt help even when logging in as single user and changing root
password. I think i have problem with PAM module or something. I need
help decoding the msgs in startup log:

sh] cat /tmp/var/log | grep pam


Oct 27 18:23:19 localhost login(pam_unix)[1451]: authentication failure; logname=LOGIN 
uid=0 euid=0 tty=tty1 ruser= rhost=  user=root
Oct 27 18:23:48 localhost login(pam_unix)[1451]: 1 more authentication failure; 
logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=tty1 ruser= rhost=  user=root
