can't get past login screen - Hardcoretexan - 06-16-2017

I upgraded from 2.2 to 2.8 there were multiple problems as it was updating that I had to cancel out of and keep going but it finished and was fine.
I then was notified there was a new kernal to download, which I did and same thing, it said my config was altered and would I like to replace it so I did( I don't know why it was altered.
Now after restarting and updating it I cannot log in.
when I start LL it fails then restarts bringing me to the advanced options menu gnu grub version 2.2then I start ubuntu with linux 4.4.0- 79 generic recovery mode.
Then recovery menu/resume/ok exit recovery mode then the login screen page comes up(I turned that off in the previous version).
I put in my password and and it shows logging in but never does(stays on that page showing logging in. If I don't use a pw or a different one it authentication failed.

When I get to grub page I have these options each with generic plain, upstart, recovery mode, none will allow me to get by the login screen

4.4.0-79
3.19.0-80
3.13.0--24
