Xubuntu 12.10can't boot, can't login to tty(x)

Xubuntu 12.10can't boot, can't login to tty(x)

I'm running Xubuntu 12.10, and I recently suffered a crash. When I tried to reboot, the system froze at "Stopping System v Runlevel compatibility" The advice for this tells me to go to tty1 via ctrl-alt-F1, but when I do this I can't login. I enter my username and password, and the system says that these are wrong. All of the suggestions I can find for getting around this assume that I have some kind of access to the system. I've got it running via a live-USB of 12.04 at the moment, but I don't know how to alter anything from here.
