Linux Boot caught in loop


Hello,
I am new to Linux as well as this forum. Hope someone out there can help. Have using machine with Linux 10.2 as a file server for the past month or so. All has been working well until this past weekend.

In checking the machine this morning, there was a window with error message relating to an updater, I am assuming the OS tried to update sometime over the weekend. Machine was locked-up so I have attempted to reboot.

At reboot I come to a admin login screen that was never there before. I enter the admin username and password, they are accepted, but then the machine recycles back to the same log-in screen. Is there any simple way to fix this without a complete re-install of the OS. Any and all help would be tremendosuly appreciated. Thank you

Hi and welcome to LQ. What Linux distribution (and its version) are you using and do you remember any of the error messages you got?
