First, boot to recovery mode or boot from the CD again. That gives
you root access and you can change passwords using passwd. Also, you
can view /etc/group and /etc/passwd to see if your regular signon was
modified.

Note: no one else here has yet reported a problem with the
*command-line* utilities, so check that the symptoms match, etc.
