If I type into that, no characters appear but when I hit enter the cursor moves down and (name) login: cursor reappears. It is bricked please help. Thanks

At the first blinking cursor, type in the name you used to set up your original (14.10) install. When the next line (Password) appears, type in the password you set. Nothing will appear (security measure). At the next cursor, try
startx That should give you the new GUI.

Do not know that password. Any option? Thanks for your help.

You had to have set a password when you installed the 14.10 version - that's the one you need to use.
