Using G4 Power book OS X Panther

My computer was accidentally turned off (power cut). On restart the Desktop will not fully load and I cant seem to open any folders on the desktop.
I can access some forlder through the drop down bar but also cant access System preferences panel either

How to log in as root

For Mac OS X 10.2 and later

If you are logged in, choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
If you are logging in from a list of usernames with pictures, click Other.
In the Name field, type: root
In the Password field, type the password you defined in the steps above.
