One tip if you use this method to get back into your system, don't  
just shut the power off when you're done.  The HFS+ file system used  
by OS X is quite fragile and not exactly up to the standards of a  
real Unix file system like BSD UFS.  Use the shutdown command (in the  
form: 'shutdown -h now') to halt the system or you'll hose your file  
system and have to recover it from journal at boot time.
