Q: what would cause macbook pro to start up in safe boot and not allow my password?

Hello

 

I went to start up my mac book pro and had a problem - despite taking a little longer and using the start up bar which it has not done before - it started in safe boot.  I do not know why it did that - in addition to that it refuses to accept my password to log onto the computer.  Does any one have any thoughts on why this might have happened and how I might get past it?

 

thanks very much

Mac OS X (10.6.8)
