In short: my MBP has locked me out. Every time I try to log in it tells me 'you are unable to log in to the user account.... At this time'
I'm freaking out.
A friend of mine threw a beer across the room and it bumped my MBP on the corner (I should add that I'm not drunk haha) . It was on at the time, no visible damage, carried on working fine. Then a bit later my browser crashed, force quit programs was just giving me a pinwheel so I did a hard reboot. I've been locked out since.
I have a nasty feeling it's something to do with the HDD in my optibay. It has my whole home folder on it (which I assume contains library files relating to login??) and the beer hit right above it. I tried to go in and have a look but all I've managed to do is fuck the head up on one of the screws holding the caddy in and I simply don't have the tools to take it out. My best guess is that maybe either the HDD is damaged or it's become detached from the optibay, does anyone have any other ideas?
I'm worried about taking this to the genius bar since obviously the optibay isn't an apple thing, but at the same time I don't want to brick my laptop. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
