Bring system up into multiuser mode, allowing users on to access system. To do this, find out your normal run level ( first line of the /etc/inittab file), and then perform a telinit command:

        # more /etc/inittab

        init:4:initdefault:
        ....
        ....

        # telinit 4

At this stage, your system should be fully recovered.
