Jun 21, 2013 9:01 AM in response to rhabdornisby ds store,So you performed a #8 Reinstall Just OS X over itself and now are locked out from logging in.
Ok, option/alt key boot off the 10.6 disk again.
Perform a #6 Reset User Password and also Disk Utility > Repair Permissions
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
In my Steps I have Repair Permissions before #8 Reinstall Just OS X because this issue does popup from time to time.
Hope this works in resolving your issues.

Jun 21, 2013 11:27 AM in response to ds storeby rhabdornis,Thanks for the reply, ds, but this hasn't helped. I have repaired disk permissions, repaired the disk (unnecessary), and changed the password - or at least reaffirmed the password - using the disk. Whenever i click the padlock sign and enter the name and password I just get 'Try entering your information again'.
When I boot-alt and choose the disk, it boots OK and last time did not ask for a password before the desktop appears...
