I updated my Ubuntu version to 16.04.01. I restarted the PC but it goes to the text console. It asks for username + password but it does not recognize either of them. I tried Ctrl + Alt + F7 but it does not show the GUI. It is not responding to sudo, either.

How can I get the GUI back?

    If this happened to me, I would re-install Ubuntu 16.04 over my current installation. Here's something to get you started (a clean install is not what you want). – Dev Nov 10 '16 at 22:53
  • You won't be able to do much with your current installationi if you can't login. As that is the case you may wish to review http://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password or simply take @Dev advice if you don't mind starting over. – Elder Geek Nov 10 '16 at 23:11
  • It's easy enough to re-install Ubuntu, bringing back the GUI and allowing him to login with the password that should not have changed since it (assumption) worked last time, when he did have the GUI. – Dev Nov 14 '16 at 05:04
