BT4 Pre login fail?

[imported_onryo]

I am back form 6 months of exploring the earth. Tibet, Nepal, India etc, sry for not getting back to all the mail. Just walked into a very clean looking office. Sat down and saw Windows7 for the first time. WOW soo much better then XP .... just about as worthless for what I need a computer for.

Shouts out to Max M. and Moxie =) Get back to you asap.

OK so now I am a n00b once more after not really seeing electricity for close to a half year.

I tossed in my USB with BT4 pre. Did a *massive* apt-get update and upgrade and rebooted. Tried to log back in and could see my user name “Wrath”. Then did the old root toor thing to login. Worked before reboot. After reboot it said the password was wrong? I can’t log into anything now. Think I remember something like su too root etc. Thing is that I can’t log into my box at all to do anything. Boss is freaking out for me to get "stuff" done" lol.

What gives?
All the best
