I've lost a user account from the OS X login screen, the other two admin accounts show up. I logged into my admin account to find out if the other one had been deleted and upon entering the Users control panel i'm presented with a blank box.

Anyone know what's going on?
 
Done disk verification, permissions repair, PMU reset and PRAM zap.

Nothing's helped.
 
I deleted the netinfo database and let it restore a new one, sorted it out.

Looks like there was a kernal panic at some point which corrupted the netinfo database :(

The batteries died a death aswell so that's being replaced :(

No its a standalone machine.

As far as the battery was concerned the tech said it was an 'inherent fault' wtf?
