Check the UID of psmith.  My guess is that it has changed.  You can, as
root, usermod user to have the UID you specify, man usermod.  Change
the GID at the same time.

Then you will want to chown -R UID:GID /home/psmith to the new UID/GID,
as root.

Then, if your password hasn't changed, you should be able to log in.
Otherwise, you can also expire your password as root, and then reset it
to what you want at first login.  man passwd
