i think re-install is the best option right now.
you are dual booting and i think you know the installation procedure. during installation, select existing partition structure of SuSe in partition section.

Are you sure you've logged in as root? Normally you have different password for logging in to the OS and for root. You don't normally log in as root. The root password is the one you type in in the installation process, which the tell you not to forget. But if you are sure you are logged in as root and it doesn't work then I guess it's best to try to re-install the OS...
