dears,
I did upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04. When it starts now I should put my password, but it does not recognize it (the password I always used) and I can access only as a guest. I then tried in the recovery mode but it says to me something like "manipulation error authentication token" (in italian). Now I do not know what to do in order to have full access.
Any suggestion? Thank you!

The "authentication token manipulation error" when following password reset instructions in the recovery mode shell usually indicates you missed the step where the root filesystem is remounted in read-write mode:



mount -o remount,rw /
