    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
If you create a new user can it log in ok.

You can do this by booting to recovery root console (esc when grub loads
and select recovery mode then root)

You can now create an account using

adduser recoveryacc
passwd recoveryacc
useradd -G admin recoveryacc

You now have a new user named  recoveryacc whom can use sudo / gksudo

You should now be able to log in as this user and troubleshoot your
system
