Login loop after host rename using hostnamectl

Question

I renamed my host with

hostnamectl set-hostname 'new-hostname'

Now I am stuck in a login loop and can only access my computer with the recovery mode.

I searched around and everybody is says that it has to to something to do with .Xauthority like here.

But I don't even have that folder.

I am running Ubuntu 19.10.

Any hints?
