I upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 16.10 and now I can't log in. If I insert the correct password, the system munches a little and then returns to the password request window. It happens for every user including the administrator and is not a problem of password. Unluckily a bunch of data hadn't been backed up before the upgrade (my fault, I know) and I'm not even able to save them on an external medium. If I log in via bootable USB key I can't copy the data on an external medium because the data have "accessible only from the owner" privileges and if I log in by means of an external USB key I'm not able to copy, to modify the privileges (chmod) or copy the data even from root.
