I checked that the password was entered correctly)
Not sure about single-user mode, but normally, NeXT machines use nis/yp
for authentication, so the fact that the /etc/passwd file was updated
isn't all that helpful.
The nidump and niload commands might be of interest to you in
understanding this. Also, there are other tables besides passwd stored
in nis.
