The problem has been resolved. After sending the message to the board, we
figured out that the console had been left on the restricted SAM screen and
somebody had switched between boxes. In short, they hit enter to get a login
for this server and actually ended up kicking off an SAP backup, the console
was sitting there waiting for a response. We stopped the backup and it took
us back out to a login prompt.

Thanks for everyones help anyways!
