The author (somewhere on these Ubuntu forums directed........ Ctrl + Alt + F1 which I thought was going to be the "Terminal" but nothing similar.

I have about a half dozen different names/passwords for Ubuntu but none will work to log in.

How to get out of this text console and back to Ubuntu GUI?

And, how to read my lost LogIn name and password for this "Text Console"?

Any help would be appreciated since I am STOPPED period! :(

Nothing ventured.................. so I did a reboot and have the gui back up.

I know more about "The Console" now.

Don't know why my names and passwords are not effective on tty1.

So I need to recover at least the root set of pw.
