I am trying to solve a low graphics mode problem. I have been able to get as far as the login prompt. The computer asks for my login. I don't know what my login is because I have never been asked for it. My password is a different matter. I enter my password for even the most mundane operations. What is meant by login? I have tried my password, my name with both upper and lower case, Administrator, in both upper and lower case, guest session in both upper and lower case, Admin in both upper and lower case. Any ideas? I am running Ubuntu 1204 LTS. Keep in mind that I am at the command prompt after hitting Ctrl - Alt -F1 and not at the regular login screen which doesn't display because of the low graphics mode problem.

So, you're at something like this screen (it's says Fedora, but I couldn't find a TTY Session screenshot for Ubuntu... :) )
This prompt is waiting for your username
.
After you enter your username and press Enter
, you'll be prompted for your password:
password: _
Enter your password and press Enter
. Volla!
P.S. Hopefully we can help you with your Low Graphics Problem
later. :)
