I can't get out of a login loop of a particular admin user. After entering the password the login screen is shown again after about a minute. Other users work fine. It started happening after a simple reboot.
Can you please help me? Thank you!
Tried to no avail:
Change the password
Remove the password
Repair disk (no errors)
Boot in safe mode
Reinstall Snow Leopard and updating to 10.6.6
Remove content of ~/Library/Caches
Removed content of ~/Library/Preferences
Replaced /etc/authorization with Install DVD copy
The system.log mentions a crash report. I'm including both below.
