This is a redhatism.  If your system is debian, you will have to mount your
root fs from the rescue disk as you need the root password to enter single
user mode..   When doing this, be sure to unmount before you reset as there is
no shutdown script for the rescue disk.

Also.. you may like to look at the tcpd config files /etc/hosts.allow
and 
/etc/hosts.deny     A couple of entries in here can make the system
incessible.. try ftping the files from the box to see if they have any
peculiar entries.
