After power outage cannot login to OS X Mountain Lion

A prower outage caused a reboot of my iMac. Now not able to login. It appears that the Keychain file is corrupt. Local accounts and master password are gone. Tried reseting password with my apple online account and that dose not work. One other note I'm getting error popup on logon screen "Could not Start AdmitMac networking: Cannot run other SMB/CIFS/Microsoft networkin servers on the same machine. Error Code: 48." I know that was not enabled before the power outage.

Anybody got any ideas?

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Boot into Recovery and see whether you can restore from the last snapshot taken before the outage.
