Sometimes you need to kill an Andromeda process because your machine
died and the login didn't. If this happens in nn you'll have to wait
a long time before timing out. Try this.

ps -u "username"

To see a list of processes.

finger "username" gives less detailed information.

Once you have the process number, do

kill -9 "number"

If you kill yourself, not to worry--
