iMore

When I restart, all I get is the screen with the Apple logo and the progress bar -- but the progress bar never shows any progress. I've held the power button down for a re-start, but that gets the same result. I don't even get to the password screen.

(Please don't tell me to go into safe mode; that is not an option until the OS boots.)

Thanks
