Q: Can't access my Macbook Pro

Everytime i restart my computer, the login screen becomes grey and i can't login. It is not the wrong password, but i can't login. I tried to reset with Apple-ID, but even though it said that is was reset, it still doesn't work. I also tried to access through the boot, by pressing CMD+R. I need to enter a password, which means i can access the boot...

I really want to get it to work again. Sometimes i experienced that after some hours i could login with the password i tried hours ago. I need the computer for my study, so i really want it to work!

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), iOS 9.3.2

An early 2011 MBP came with Snow Leopard install disks.

Boot the MBP with the OSX install disk.

After language selection there should be a menu bar at the top of the display.

Click on UTILITIES.

From the drop down menu, select DISK UTILITY.

Run DISK UTILITY>FIRST AID>REPAIR.

If the disk cannot be repaired, it will have to be replaced.

Ciao.

You can use an external DVD drive or connect your Mac to another Mac with an operating DVD drive:
