Thanks Beech !
I was able to boot into single-mode and execute passwd but that did not fix 
the problem.

As you suggested, the machine has been hacked. The /var/log directory was 
erased, I do not have access to any of the logs.

Any other suggestion to fix the login problem. I already looked at the 
/etc/password file and it looks fine to me.

Regards,

Nelson Terrazas
