Earlier today I upgraded another computer running Debian (testing). Now I cannot log in. Before upgrading I logged out from being a normal (non root) user then did ctrl+alt+F1 and logged in as root on VT1. After logging in I did the usual apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and then addeed a few new packages. When I had finished I did alt+F7 without logging out from VT1. I discovered that I could not login as ken or as root getting a "login incorrect" each time. I can not log in on another VT either. I am still logged in as root on VT1 so I can still work on the system. I have tried "changing" the password of my user account back to what it was but still cannot login and I have created a new dummy account but cannot log in to it either. The system uses shadow passwords with MD5. Can anyone suggest where I should start looking to isolate the problem?
