Being a novice, I didn't find the other duplicate questions that helpful i.e how to I read logs eg Xsession, Xauthority without being able to log in in the first place! and I don't know about root access (if that's needed).
I've been running 14.04 for over a year now, and regularly running the updates.
My problem is that my password no longer works - it just throws me back to the login screen. The same applies to the Guest login. I have also tried logging in via the text UI (Ctrl+F3) without success.
What I think may have caused the problem - last time I was in, I accidentally deleted all files in the tmp folder. The folder is still there - but the contents are now gone. Could that be the problem, and if so, can you please tell me how to sort it out?
