When I enter my username and password I am looped back to the login screen again. I went to the shell screen and mv .Xauthority . Xauthority.bak is not working as it is saying /bin:/usr/bin is not included in the path environment variable.

We don't have a lot of information to go on, but lets try this...
- boot to the GRUB menu
- choose Advanced Options
- choose Recovery mode
- choose Root access
- at the # prompt, type:
sudo mount -o remount,rw /# remount the disk as rwcd /home/bak/utkarsh# change directoryls -al .*thority*# list some files
You should see something like this...
-rw------- 1 utkarsh utkarsh 407910 Nov 2 08:56 .ICEauthority
-rw------- 1 utkarsh utkarsh 58 Jun 23 2017 .Xauthority
If it DOES NOT show -rw------- then...
sudo chmod 600 .*thority*# change file protection
If it DOES SHOW root root then...
sudo chown utkarsh:utkarsh .*thority*# change file ownership
Note: change utkarsh to your correct username
reboot# reboot the computer
Reboot and see if you can log in.
