looks like the only solution is to create some space in /
even if / does not contain any user specific file, for normal operation 
OS needs space in /var to write logs and in /tmp to create temporary files.

If you have root password get in single user mode and clear up some space.
As you mention, no root password, then you need to boot in rescue mode 
using a rescue CD. the first installation cd can be used as a rescue disk.
most probably, you should should be able to reclaim some space from 
/var/log.
