First, boot to recovery mode or boot from the CD again. That gives
you root access and you can change passwords using passwd. Also, you
can view /etc/group and /etc/passwd to see if your regular signon was
modified.
Note: no one else here has yet reported a problem with the

This sounds like #26338 and duplicates.
The graphical users-admin reliably strips information from [i]unrelated[/i]
users in /etc/group.
Let's take further discussion there.
