1. Its difficult to make direct update from 2.4.* to 2.6. I think better chose another distro which is build on 2.6.*
1 year ago I chose Gentoo...

2. Try pass 'selinux=0' options to kernel on booting.

Please try do following:

1) boot to system with kernel parameter "1" or "init=/bin/bash"
2) edit /etc/shadow file
At begin of file you will see like this:

root:$1$4HGFhjuiouy$gdfjk.:10940:0:60:7:::

Pay your attention to field where 60 placed in example (field number 5).
You may have something other (30, 60, 90). It's a time in day until old password is valid.
Change it to 99999. If some digits in fields after :7: will found, delete it (like in example)

DO NOT change first and second fields! It's login name and crypted password!

Reboot. Now you can login as root. Change other logins as your need.

man shadow  !!!!

Change EXPIRE in the  /etc/default/useradd file to proper values!

PS. To KeWlHa|<e|^s - I newer put to example real paswords %))
