Stuck in log in loop and couldn't open terminal to fix

Post by newcam »

Hi, I am stuck in log in loop on my Ubuntu virtual machine, every time I put the password, the log in page just came back. I tried to Ctrl+Alt+F3 or whichever shortcut keys to bring up terminal.
I couldn't even bring up the terminal to type anything.

Please help,
Thank you in advance.

Help how? VirtualBox provides the "hardware", we don't supply the OS or know your password.

Perhaps if you provide a VM log file we could say something. Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.
