I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. When I switch to the first text terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F1, I'm presented with a prompt that asks for user name and password. When I input the user name and password, I get login incorrect. I'm typing the right user name and password. What could be the problem?

Here is the output of dmesg

Here is the /var/log/auth.log

Some how the problem fixed it self. I was using the system, and update manager came up telling me that there are updates available for my machine, so I looked at the updates, and applied them. One of those updates was a Kernel update.

So I don't know if that what fixed it or not, but is got fixed right after the updates were applied.
