I'm back in!

I did "sudo mv .Xauthority .Xauthority.old," then used Ctrl-F7 to get
back to the login screen. It worked! I am back in without needing a
password. Whew!

Now I need to clean things up. After I make a thorough backup I will
recreate a password for jjj. Hopefully there will be no further
problems.

Many thanks to all who patiently guided me through fixing this mess.
And curses to Ubuntu for creating it.
