Root Access not working as FileSystem in ReadOnly Mode

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat

Hi Experts

I am facing a problem wherein Root Access not working as FileSystem in ReadOnly Mode.
Due to a Disk failure, my Filesystem went into Read-Only mode:

report@xx> grep root /proc/mounts
/dev/root / ext3 ro,data=ordered 0 0

Now, I am not able to login using root user on the system.
Only access is possible through a report user for which I have enabled password-less access to the node.

I need to remount the /root filesystem in RW mode, but not able to do so since I have no access as root user.

Everytime I access using root user, it says incorrect password.

My application is running absolutely fine on the system.

Please help !!

You may have to shutdown the system and reboot into single user mode.

Did you check if there is free space on root fs ?

If telnet is open, you should be able login if the system is mounted read only or full.
