Subject: restoring whole system from tape

I needed to make my swap partition bigger, so I backed everything up 
on tape (ft0) and reinstalled the new partitions, then the bindist.  I 
didn't add any passwords or users.  Then I restored all my old files 
(everything from / down) from tape.  Unfortunately, now I can't log 
in.  My old passwords (for both root and user) result in "Login 
incorrect" errors.

How can I get back into my system?  Or, alternatively, what's the 
correct way to restore my system from tape?

Thanks if you can help.
