What could have caused this? She has all her business software on there and can't access anything on the computer. She is the only one that has access to it (well besides her cats).

Not sure what you mean by "deauthorized".but.she can reset the master password by booting from the osX software cd and selecting reset password from pulldown menu.Maybe she logged out and the login screen is hidden? Also it would be a good time to repair "permissions".

eliminate any floppies interior of thechronic, CD-ROMS/DVDs, USB thumb drives or exterior demanding drives, and verify out it back. If that doesn't sparkling up it, get the precise mistakes on the exhibit and put in an a information on your question in order to help you extra constructive. EDIT: My undesirable, i did not comprehend that it wasn't booting in any respect. when I said HAL i presumed Hardware Abstraction Layer, no longer that you had named your computer HAL (undesirable karma there, until eventually you want your computer to flow insane). Do any light fixtures come on in any respect once you hit the means button and in case you pay interest heavily, do the inner followers spin up? you ought to listen a smooth humming sound in the journey that they do. If no longer, at the same time as you've a lifeless means furnish. Geek Squad can replace that for you if you're actually not as a lot as doing it your self. If it does means up for a second and then is going lifeless it would want to easily be the CPU fan. maximum present day computer's have a sensor which will straight away close down means to the motherboard if the CPU fan isn't operating to prevent you from frying it through overheating. Edit 2: Christopher, it feels like the means furnish is lifeless and could opt to get replaced. One very last suggestion, to easily remember to do not waste money, try shifting the means cord from the UPS, means strip, surge protector, or however you're using now and plug it quickly into the wall in an outlet that you've verified has means (is the exhibit screen plugged right into a similar strip because the computer, if so, you are able to overlook about this) and verify out it once extra. i might want to hate to work out you're taking it to a shop at the same time as it replaced into only a foul means source like a fuse blown surge protector.
