This is one of the many reasons why I am not a fan of "upgrading' from one version of an Operating System to another. Successive upgrades can and do run into issues like this. Some are easily fixable some are not.
Mac OS X 10.5: Unable to log in to account after an upgrade install
Issue or symptom
You may not be able to log in with a user account that has a password of 8 or more characters and was originally created in Mac OS X 10.2.8 or earlier, after performing an upgrade installation of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (the default installation type).
This will effect "local" accounts only, not network authenticated accounted.

Java Check: (**MY ALL TIME FAVORITE**)
PASSES. Version 1.5.0_13
In terms of eLearning this is an excellent thing. I did test the Java 6 beta that came out earlier this year, it passed the check but key features in eLearning (HTML Editor and Chat) wer ... more »

Apple has started to ship "Leopard Only" hardware.
This was expected behavior for Apple. The Generic OS installation DVD media that Simmons receives as part of its Maintenance Agreement with Apple *should* be installable on this new hardware. This has been noted for future testing.

MacBook (Late 2007): About the Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation disk
The Mac OS X 10.5 installation disk that shipped with your MacBook (13-inch Late 2007) is designed for use on this computer only and not intended for any other computer.
The installer prevents this software from being installed on other Macintosh computers and other Mac OS X 10.5 installation disks will not work on the MacBook (13-inch Late 2007).

The newly released Leopard O/S has a completely revamped Keychain sub-system.
If you try to migrate your "keychain" to Leopard. It may not work.
Try resetting your keychain which is documented in the following knowledgebase article from Apple:
