Bad luck or not, you seem to be in a situation where you need support on
how to resolve the situation, and this is a bug report, not a support
forum.

I would recommend that you describe the problem (including my comment #5
above) in a question at http://askubuntu.com or

Title:
  can only log in with another admin account. my old admin account
  doesnt show any desktop symbols at all.  now the second admin account
  has starting problems too is not completing start up.. stays with the
  start screen and doesnt continue..system seems up to date with the
  ubuntu provided updates.

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  in may the first prob occured with my one and only admin account. no desktop symbol showed up anymore so that you can only logg in but not shut down or anything else without ending the session per terminal command and write log off.. over the guest account we created a second admin account to safe all my data and continued. but actually didnt have the knowledge to fix the first issue permanently. now the second admin account is not even starting.. and the system seems extremly slowed down.
  i would really very much appreciate any help of you.
  thanks a lot beforehand for any reply or help provided.

  the problem is presumably located in the following package LightDM.
