I fixed my authentication failure issue. It seems my issue may not be associated with this particular bug report.
--I had to boot into recovery mode
--select the drop into root user option (on the bottom of the list)
--enter passwd username (put the user's login name in place of "username")
--enter a new password, hit enter
--re-enter the password
--type exit
--according to the instructions that I was following, I should have next selected the "return to normal boot" option. However, for some reason I ended up stuck in command mode. I eventually shut down "shutdown now" and restarted the laptop. All is well again.

I think that the problem may have started with a power outage. I
remember having a similar login problem when I accidentally pulled the
laptop's power cord out. At that time I was a new ubuntu user and did a
fresh install. Ever since I've been especially careful with the cord (I
have no battery power).
