I don't know what's going on, but if you reboot, you can get into a
shell by adding "init=/bin/bash" as a parameter to your kernel. For
instance, at the LILO prompt, you could type:
linux init=/bin/bash
Which would drop you to a bash shell, without asking you to log in.
As far as not existing, double-check that there's a root account in
/etc/passwd.
