problem with log in to fedora


Hi all

I'm user in Fedora 14 , recently I try to install programs like theli on my OS , I 've gotten some problem but finally I could install it , but face with another problem I cant run even simple commands such as " ls " , restart it may be it can help me but not only this didn't help me even now i can login , every thing stops in the step that fedora asks user's password

**********************
by the help of " CTRL+ ALT+ F2" i can define a new user , it seems that previous user has problem , i cant see its file by the help of new user .

now i want to make this new user administrator , but how???
would you please help me ??

****************
also i have this warning in my bashrc ::

SELinux status: enabled
Warning: SELinux is currently enabled on your computer.
This will prevent some of Scisoft's software such as PyRAF from running.
More information is avaiable in the Scisoft FAQ:
http://www.eso.org/sci/data-processi...7/faq.html#q25

This warning can be disabled by setting the environment variable SCISOFT_IGNORE_SELINUX_WARNING to '1'

what dose it mean???

If you can't issue commands,, try issuing this cmd:

bash

Root is the administrator. If you run the following cmd, you can be in the admin group:

gpasswd -a username
