Funny think happened to me last night. I turned my computer on, as

always do, booted up Ubuntu, got to the log in screen, entered my

several times to ensure I was typing correctly, but no. It would
not
log me (or my wife) in.
So I booted into recovery, root terminal, and changed my password.
Rebooted and it still won't let me log in! What could be going on?
Did passwd appear to succeed (i.e. exit zero)? Did /etc/shadow
change?
Does your password appear as disabled in /etc/shadow?

Couldn't tell you about /etc/shadow wouldn't know what to look for, but
passwd <me> entering new password, said it updated successfully.
