Ubuntu opens with guest log in i cannot switch to user log on

Question

I did receive a previous possible solution using a Terminal command but since i was logged in as a guest the program was not authorized.

Do you know the password for the admin account? – DnrDevil Jan 09 '16 at 20:22 — DnrDevil, Jan 09 '16 at 20:22

Firstly try: Ctrl-Alt-F5 to open a new terminal session, it will require that you login.

Try to run your commands there.

Failing this, You'll need to boot into single-user mode and complete the terminal commands there:

Bear in mind that this will log you in as the root user, which is normally disabled, and the root user is extremely powerful.

Once your changes have been made, run the command "reboot" and all will start up normally.

I hope this helps!

Kind Regards
