On Hardy, comment out the line "/usr/bin/gdm" on the /etc/X11/default-display-manager file. Now reboot your machine, and you'll be taken to the multi-user command line mode. To go back to GUI, just type "sudo gdm". Alternatively, you can also issue the command "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" to remove GDM from the rc.d scripts. To go back to the default settings, type "sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults".
To log in to your user account from the recovery mode, type "login". To go back to GUI, press CTRL+D on the prompt.
