Hi all,
I just installed Ubuntu Mate 16.04 today. I really like it. My problem is that it has gone into sleep mode with these circle graphics floating about the screen, and now when I try to enter my password so that I can log in, Ubuntu will not accept my password.
I am not sure, but I have had some issues today with my keyboard. For example, my tilde character showed up as some other weird character when I try to type it in the terminal. My password has character symbols in it, and I’m thinking this may be why my password is supposedly “incorrect” when it’s not.
I don’t know how to get back into Ubuntu now that I am locked out.
Edit: I just swapped keyboards in case there is an issue with my keyboard, but I am still locked out, so perhaps it isn’t a keyboard issue.
