Can't login on CDE AIX 4.2

Hi, can somebody please, please help me?

After a power loss and server restart my server running AIX 4.2.2 could not boot. Following the procedure in my user guide
I checked the hd's with
# fsck -y /dev/hd1
# fsck -y /dev/hd2
# fsck -y /dev/hd3
# fsck -y /dev/hd4
# fsck -y /dev/hd9var

I run the command
/usr/sbin/logform /dev/hd8

I re-created the BLV and updated the bootlist
# bosboot -a -d /dev/hdisk0
# bootlist -m normal hdisk0

Now the system boots but I can't login, not as normal user or root.
After typing the login, the system asks for password but input doesn't work, after pressing enter it says -invalid login or password (I know the pass for root).
Before the crash the system didn't ask for password when loging as normal user.

I really appreciate any help!!!

NAME
pmset -- modify power management settings SYNOPSIS
pmset [-a | -b | -c] [dim minutes] [spindown minutes] [sleep minutes] [womp 1/0] [ring 1/0] [autorestart 1/0] [dps 1/0] [reduce 1/0] [powerbutton 1/0] [lidwake 1/0] [acwake 1/0] [boot] pmset -g [disk | live | cap | sched] DESCRIPTION
pmset changes and reads power management settings such as idle sleep timing, wake on administrative access, automatic restart on power loss, etc. SETTING
The -a, -b, -c flags determine whether the settings apply to battery (-b), charger (wall power) (-c), or all (-a). Use a minutes argument of 0 to set the idle time to never. pmset must be run as root. The boot argument tells power management that system bootup is complete. Loginwindow handles this on a normal Mac OS X system. GETTING
The -g flag outputs the settings currently in use (same as -g live ). -g disk will tell you the settings on disk. -g cap will tell you which power management features the machine supports. -g sched will show scheduled startup/wake and shutdown/sleep events. ARGUMENTS
dim - display dim timer (value in minutes) spindown - disk spindown timer (value in minutes) sleep - system sleep timer (value in minutes) womp - wake on ethernet magic packet (value = 0/1) ring - wake on modem ring (value = 0/1) autorestart - automatic restart on power loss (value = 0/1) dps - dynamically change processor speed based on load (value = 0/1) reduce - reduce processor speed (value = 0/1) powerbutton - sleep the machine when power button is pressed (value = 0/1) lidwake - wake the machine when the laptop lid(or clamshell) is opened (value = 0/1) acwake - wake the machine when power source (AC/battery) is changed (value = 0/1) OTHER ARGUMENTS
These arguments don't directly affect power management settings: boot - tell the kernel that system boot is complete EXAMPLES
pmset -b dim 5 pmset -a dim 10 spindown 10 sleep 30 womp 1 pmset -g live FILES
All changes made through pmset are saved in a persistent preferences file (per-system, not per-user) at /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist pmset modifies the same file that System Preferences Energy Saver modifies. Darwin August 19, 2002 Darwin
