[Trisquel-users] Re : Lost password - Restore encrypted home

[lcerf]

The file I proposed to remove is .Xauthority and not .Authority but I believe  
you removed the correct files (otherwise you would have got an error message  
like "rm: cannot remove '.Authority': No such file or directory").  Other  
users on the Web suggest to remove ~/.Xresources.

If that does not work, you could try to create a new user and see if this  
user can get a graphical session (as you know, Alt+F7 gets you back to the  
graphical session):
$ sudo adduser login
You can substitute "login" by any login string.
