That's not a nice situation.
If you can't log on anymore, try something as described here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15761...buntu-live-cd/

If your system is working, you might try something like this:
There is a good tool named scalpel
$ apt-get install scalpel
$ scalpel /dev/sda1 -o /your/safe/dir/output
(output goes to your safe directory)
