I'll answer all your questions, because I'd been in this situation many times over:
Does logging in locally work ? NO Does logging in remotely work ? NO Does logging in to terminal ? NO Does logging in graphically ? NO
What's the solution to the problem ?

Hi,
I'm going to be rude to everyone else and tell you I'll solve your problem in the next fifteen minutes provided you ignore everyone elses instructions and answer the following:
Does logging in locally work? Does logging in remotely work? Does logging in to the terminal (Ctrl Alt f1) work? Does logging in graphically work?
No offence to the others that have tried to help you, but I don't the the advice you've been given is the best. Just answer that and we'll find out what's wrong.
No, you don't need to reinstall.
Mike
