Redhat 5.2 Crash... - Help...



Hello...

I need some help... for some reason.. (not sure why... i think power
shortage) my linux box crashed....
i think it was while it was downloading something ... anyway...
all i got when i came to my computer was fsck.ext2 forced on boot and
seeing hundreds of lines... linux booting and again... for, i think 5
hours or so...
anyway, booted with rescue disk... ran fsck.ext2 manually, got it all
fixed (press Enter on all the questions...) saw the most of the errors
where in ~/.netscape/cache/... so i really don't mind....

anyway booted again, this time fsck.ext2 -a  said that the partition was
clean - everything seemed to be loading well...
the problem is this:
login : root <Enter>

brings me back to:

login:
 any user... anything... doesn't get to the password field...

what can i do? - is it the password file?? users file...

Thanks
