Your login password is the same as your user password.

  1. At the screen with a lot of writing where your boot has stopped, open a text-only virtual console by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F3.

  2. At the login: prompt type your username and press Enter.

  3. At the Password: prompt type your user password and press Enter.

  4. After you have logged in in the console type:

    sudo service lightdm start # Ubuntu 14.10 and earlier

    or 

    sudo systemctl start graphical.target # Ubuntu 15.04 and later

    and press Enter to bring up your default login screen and then login to your Ubuntu desktop environment as usual. If have a different desktop environment than the default Ubuntu Unity desktop environment, please comment so that I can change the command in Step 4.

After you have logged in to Ubuntu as usual, please check Where can I look up my update history? which tells you how to check your recent update history. Please provide information about what were the packages in your latest update, so that I can tell you how to undo the latest update.

  • Enter you username in the login box.

  • If you do not know your username boot using a live CD (or if you are dual booting with Windows then use ext2fsd).

  • Open file browser and mount Ubuntu drive.

  • Go to home.

  • There must be a folder. The name of the folder is your username.

  • Reboot and login to Ubuntu.

  • Now open terminal, type in `sudo dpkg-reconfigure lights

  • Use arrow keys and select lightdm and press enter.

Note If you use Gnome replace lightdm with gdm3.
