Q: Sparsebundle deletion. Computer stuck at "unable to log in to user account"
I deleted the sparsebundle file on my Mac because the computer was telling me my disk space was full. Now it will not let me log onto my computer and gives me the "You are unable to log in to the user account "myaccount " at this time"... To make matters worse, holding down "C" will not run the installation disk. I am at a loss and have no idea what to do. There is important papers on the computer that I need to retrieve.
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Is it a wired Keyboard?
Do you have Firmware password protection in Mac OS X ...

It would block usage of all the startup keys, like C, N, T, D, CMD+s, CMD+Option+p+r, CMD +v, Option, and Shift, as well as booting from anything but the Hard Drive.
Force Removing Password Protection
1) Add or remove DIMMs to change the total amount of RAM in the computer.
2) Then, the PRAM must be reset 3 times. (Command + Option + P + R).
