My recovery is to get a root shell:

mount /dev/sdaX /target
mount /proc /target/proc -o bind
mount /sys /target/sys -o bind
mount /dev /target/dev -o rbind
chroot /target
mount /dev/sdaX /boot

update-initramfs -u -k all
grub-install /dev/sda
update-grub

passwd root
(set root password)
exit
shutdown -r now


# reboot, login as root, create an account, and then set locale etc etc
adduser --uid 1000 --encrypt-home NEWUSER

#then user preferences for locale and set system wide
