I changed permissions of home directory to list files only after that when I restarted my system its not accepting my password which is correct one. So after that I searched for solution on internet to recover my password using boot in recovery mode still not any effect noticed.

Edited

Distro : Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS Desktop

    What exactly did you ro to change permissions? I suspect you irrecoverably broke your system. – Pilot6 May 29 '20 at 11:06

    You can reset the password in recovery mode. See this this question and second solution. – Tanvir May 29 '20 at 11:17
  • I wanted that my home directory must only accessed by root user/authorized person if any unknown wants to access the file/directory then he will need to enter password. I tried it on directory which is under home directry and it worked. So tried same on main home directory and then I rebooted the system and entered my password after that this issue started not aacepting password. If system broked then How I can recover w/o loosing any data and apps installed on it? – Mitesh Dube May 29 '20 at 11:22
  • @Tanvir Actually I followed this but no effect. – Mitesh Dube May 29 '20 at 11:29
  • Just changing permissions will not make you lose data. Go into recovery mode and do chmod 755 /home and chmod 755 /home/yourusername. – Jos May 29 '20 at 11:32
  • check your locale (system, keyboard, etc.) – Erdinc Ay May 29 '20 at 11:57
  • @Jos Thank you but by changing the permissions it still giving same results not accepting the password. – Mitesh Dube May 29 '20 at 12:17
  • Which Linux distro have you installed (Ubuntu server, Ubuntu desktop, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Mint, et al.), & which release number? Different releases have different tools for us to recommend. Please click [edit] & add that to your question, so all facts we need are in the question. Please don't use Add Comment, since that's our one-way channel to you. All facts about your PC should go in the Question with [edit] as this is a Q&A site, not a general forum, so things work differently here. – K7AAY May 29 '20 at 15:57
