I am away from my Ubuntu machine and was working on it via VNC. I had to sign out of a user account and I lost my Ubuntu VNC connection. I am assuming the VNC server is not running since Ubuntu is sitting at the sign in screen.

I still have ssh access to the machine. I was wondering if it is possible to sign into a (desktop) user account via ssh so the VNC server will come back online?

I solved this by running and sudo reboot command from inside of the ssh session I still had access too. Luckily, my system is set to auto sign-in to the main account on the computer, so I had VNC access again after it booted up.
