Today, after I rebooted my server, I can't login at my server. Everything works well.(like mysql or apache) But I just can not login my server.

When I type any key(like `a' or '1') than console require the password. I can't type my ID at my server!

ssh works fine but I need to use my server directly for using gui.

  • Try to install x server, a desktop enviroment like xkce, etc and start it via ssh, then try to login form the graphic interface(usually tty7)

Reset to default

Have you tried switching to another TTY on the box? ALT+F1–F7

All else fails you can reset root pw (if that is your problem) by restarting into runlevel 0, single user mode, or whatever it is called in ubuntu. To do this you simply append init 1 to your grub command before boot/init.

  • The TTY thing could, but resetting the password is not going to be useful since the problem is that he can't login
