"Authentication failed" entering usernames including root

I'm unable to login to my Fedora 7 system. From SSH with either password or certificate, any user including root. No better from the console, and I see that the failure occurs upon entering any username including root, before any chance to enter password.

Recent history: It has been working well for months, then two days ago I tried to install NX server (free version) from nomachine.com. I was unable to connect and thought I'd get back to it later. Also I accepted a general update of my software.

I'm quite computer-literate, but still new to Linux after these few months.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

- Jef

did you get a resolution ?
I have similar symptoms and have made a new post.
FC5 upgrade to FC5 caused it...
