can't log into account after new hd

I just had my hd replaced. I reinstalled my account with time machine.

This morning I had to reboot my computer and I could not get into it .I have rebooted it several times since the restore from tm and have used it fine for a few days with no problems.

I rebooted with shift key down, was then able to get into my account.

Am wondering if I should move my stuff over to a new account. Is it hard to do? Do I just drag and drop items into the new account?

thanks

27" Intel Core i3 iMac, 3.2 GHz, Mac OS X (10.6.6), 4GB mem, 1TB hd, ATI Radeon HD 5670

If you were able to boot into your account inSafe Mode, then the problem lies in an item safe mode eliminates.

Look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.
