At your boot prompt
linux 1
If this is grub, hit e to edit the selected boot options, then A to move
to the end, type in 1, save and boot.
If lilo, Ctrl X to reach a boot prompt, then type in linux 1
(Replace Linux by your default kernel label, the most common is linux).

Booting into runlevel 1 will get you to a shell prompt from where you
can carry out essential maintainance activities.
