Cannot log into any account

Yesterday, when I tried logging into my macbook, after my password was typed, it locked everything in. What I mean is, everything went gray and I was not able to press any buttons (restart, back, sleep, etc) or change my password. I tried logging into the Guest Account and it wouldn't allow me in either. Any clue on how to fix this?
P.S. (I'm not sure if this has to do with it) Earlier yesterday, I was trying to update Mac OS X and I guess the cord came unplugged because instead of finishing, the macbook died.

interrupting an update in the middle is a pretty sure way to scramble the system.
I suggest you do an archive and install.

  • Firefox Sync: I cannot log into my account using the sync key that was given to me and nothing I do seems to fix it. Is there anyway I can "reset" my username? I'd like to reopen an account using my same username as opposed to starting from scratch.

    reading through that, it doesn't look like you were given up on Candice. you never replied to StarDeb's last set of questions in that thread. she was probably waiting to hear back from you.
    why didn't you reply?

  • I cannot log into user account with old password after using migration assistant.

    I used Migration Assistant to move only my Settings and Users from my Power PC (User name RLE 5) to my Mac Pro.  Because of what I have read in these forums I did not migrate applications or and files/folders. I will do that manually.  After migrating I tried logging in to my user account RLE 5 on my Mac Pro, but it is telling me I am using the wrong password.  I used the same password I used on my Power PC, but with no luck.  On my Mac Pro I went into System Preferences>Accounts>RLE 5 account and changed the password.  I then rebooted and tried again.  No luck.
    Can somebody help me with this problem?
    Thank you.

    What you propose would not solve the problem I am having.  I must not have been clear about it.  So I will elaborate. 
    I have a Power PC with 10.5.8.  The admin user account name is RLE 5.  I need a password to log into my root user account on my Power PC. 
    Then I bought a used Mac Pro with a clean install of 10.7.5 and no password set up yet for my admin user account.  The admin user account name is Mac Pro.  When I turn on the computer it opens to my admin user account where I have access to everything. 
    I used Migrations Assistant to move my Settings and Users from my Power PC to my Mac Pro.  That seemed to to successfully. 
    So I now have four users on my Mac Pro:  RLE 5 (the admin user from my Power PC with the password), Mac Pro (my admin user which does not require a password), and two guest user accounts.
    I turn on my Mac Pro and it opens to my Mac Pro admin user account.  I don't need to sign in.  No problem. 
    I log out of Mac Pro.  On my screen are the four user accounts.  I click on RLE 5 (which was my admin user account on my Power PC that I migrated over to my Mac Pro) to log into that account and it asks me for a password.  I type in the password I used for my Power PC.  It keeps telling me it is the incorrect password.
    I cannot log into my user account RLE 5 on the Mac Pro.  I am being told I have the incorrect password. I've gone to System Preferences>Accounts and changed the password.  It doesn't make a difference. 
    Also I cannot log into the Guest User account that migrated from the Power PC to the Mac Pro for the same reason.  I have also tried to change the password for that Guest User account also but with no luck. 
    Another interesting thing has happened.  I decided to give my Mac Pro admin user account a password by going to System Preferences>Accounts.  But when I do a test to sign into my admin user account Mac Pro it tells me it is the wrong password.  Luckily I can reboot the computer and it opens to my Mac Pro user without asking for a password.  But if I log out of Mac Pro and try to then sign back in with the password it tells me it is the incorrect password.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • I cannot log into my account

    I just setup an account and I cannot log into it

    Hello yhinricks:
             What account are you trying to excess HP eprint or HP Support web site? Both of them you need to use your email account you used to register your old printer. Now with HP e print account your printer won't receive directly prints that was sent to your old printer because that was sent to your old printer's IP address. So you need to go on line and manually print items that are their using the printer's icon on your Internet Explorer Browser. For the time being and contact HP e print  suppot technician. Ask them how to change your old printer's information (IP Address) to your new printer's information (IP Address). So you do not have to log into your account each time to manually print from website. frrw

  • Cannot Log into AIM account after multiple tries

    This problem is a nightmare. I really do appreciate the support. Unfortunatly the fix is only temporary. Here is what is going on and what Fixes I have tried.
    The problem is on my parents G5 power PC (~2006)
    They have an AOL AIM account.
    Ichat worked great for about 4 months.
    Then the problems occurred (Can not log into AIM account after mutliple tries).
    We have tried:
    Switching to port 443 - this has not worked ever time we have tried it.
    Deleting iChat.plist, iChatAgent.plist, and iChatAIM.plist (left the other ichat plists alone like Jabber, Agent, Subnet,etc)
    This this restores ichat for about a day then back to the same problem.
    We have also tried running disk utlity and repairing permissions and get it going for day some times.
    Not sure what else is causing it to drop out and having to delete this times again and again? Any ideas?

    This should be two IP address normally that are on the Internet.

    A 192.168.x.x address points to the Router (I would guess in this case) and whilst some routes can be DNS servers as well it is not that common and is only really useful to link a MAC (Ethernet and/or WiFi Card - Media Access Card Address) info to a Name for the Computers that are attached.

  • I cannot log into my account on my macbook.

    My macbook will turn on but once I have logged into my account nothing happens, then after a long delay the screen goes blue and it goes back to the log in screen. Why is this? What can I do? About a week ago it was absolutely fine, then it started freezing for several minutes at a time and now it won't even log in. Can anyone help me?

    Booting from the install disk is good, but you might also want to try booting in safe mode.

  • Cannot log into root account

    After last update, I cannot make system user login:
    [user@papa ~]$ su
    Password:
    su: incorrect password
    [user@papa ~]$
    At the same time, I can log in into root account with the same password from the framebuffer.
    Everything worked OK before update.
    Please help.

    Are you using the testing branch? There's a bug filed about just such an occurrence: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13444 Try and see if su has the SETUID bit set.

  • Cannot log into iTunes account

    I have been trying for three days to log into my iTunes account and keep getting the message;
    "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
    I can log in no problem from my laptop, and my iPod, but not from my desktop. My desktop is the pc that I sync my iPod with.
    Background:
    PC hard drive crashed recently so I have a new one. Reinstalled Win 7, etc. Ran recover program and transferred files to new hard drive.
    iPod had to also be restored during this procedure as it would not unlock with my password anymore. I restored it by syncing to my laptop.
    All computers are running Win7 Home Premium.

    I assume that the library would be the material (songes, etc) that are installed on the local drive, is that correct?  If so, are those re-downloadable off of the itunes store?
    M,
    If the songs were purchased from the iTunes Store, she can download fresh copies at no charge.  Songs obtained elsewhere will require other arrangements. 
    If you can recover the data on the drive, that would be the easiest.

  • Cannot log into any GUI modes and need to reinstall OSX

    Hi all,
    I've been having issues with my iMac 27" i7 desktop which I purchased back in 2011 with OSX Lion.
    I recently updated to OSX Mavericks and have some issues which I am trying to resolve.
    I have been working through troubleshooting with the Apple Support team as it is still covered by the extended warranty that I purchased with the system.  Unfortunately it appears that we have come to the end of their technical support capabilities and I have no resolution.   Here is a quick breakdown of the situation:
    While doing some gaming in a Bootcamp copy of Windows 7 the computer froze and displayed a green screen with vertical lines and was unresponsive.
    Rebooted the machine into OSX Mavericks (upgraded about a month ago from Lion) and after the Apple symbol and loading wheel, when the machine went to display my desktop it froze with a completely white screen.
    Tried to reboot back into Windows 7 and when it went to display the desktop it went to a grey screen with vertical lines.
    Called the Apple Support line who advised me how to log into Safe Mode.   This worked ok and then I rebooted into OSX properly and my desktop displayed albeit running very slow.
    Backed up my data and then while doing some web browsing the computer locked up and went to a blank screen.
    Called the Apple Support line who took me into Recovery Mode and got me to Verify the Disk and Verify Disk Permissions.  Also advised me to run Apple Hardware Test.
    Ran Apple Hardware Test and it said that there are "no problems"
    Booted back into OSX which worked ok but still very slow.
    During a data transfer the computer locked up with a black screen and the rainbow spinning wheel and was unresponsive.
    After a few attempts I was able to log back in and complete my backup of crucial files.
    Yesterday I went to boot the computer and it again gets to point after the Apple symbol and loading wheel where it would display my desktop and goes to blank screen.  Apple Support advised that the next step for testing purposes is to format the HDD and reinstall OSX.
    No matter whether I am trying to boot into OSX, Safe Mode, Recovery Partition or Internet Recovery (I have tried all numerous times) whenever it gets to a point where the GUI would be displayed the machine locks up and I get a blank white screen.  I logged into Single-User Mode and ran a file system check which came up ok and I have run AHT again which came up ok as well, however considering that it doesn't matter where I boot to the same error occurs I believe that the issue is probably hardware related rather than software.  I have also followed the instructions to clear the PVRAM
    I have booted to OSX using Verbose mode and noticed that there are a number of SMC errors and other messages indicating that there may be some software issues, so I am trying to troubleshoot those before I take the machine to the Authorised Apple Repair Centre
    I have created an OSX Mavericks Boot USB but that comes up with a white screen as well if I boot to it.
    I'm not sure if it will help, but I can select my recovery partition (OSX Base System) during boot and load into single user mode there.   I'm curious whether (and how) to run diskutils from there to verify disk and permissions for my primary partition (lets call it "Lion").  Then erase the disk and reinstall OSX from my boot USB.

    You have to start the miniSAP instance before you can log in to it.
    On your desk top there should be an icon 'start SAP WA1' start that, and leave the DOS window running until you are finished.
    If you get messages in the DOS window saying processes died check that MS loopback is running.
