I am using Ubuntu 13.10 with Unity desktop. Unfortunately I am not able to log into my desktop. After entering correct password it keeps looping back to login.

Could you please help me to sort out this problem? I need help because I have important data in my laptop and I don't want to reinstall the OS.

This is my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file:

[SeatDefaults]
user-session=unity
greeter-session=unity-greeter

This is the output of output after lspci|grep VGA :-

00:02:0 VGA compatible controller: Intel corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c)

Select Recovery mode during boot then Drop to root shell prompt.

From there, run (I assume rohan is your login name) 

mount -o rw,remount /  #remount / filesystem in read-write mode
passwd rohan

Then enter your password and press Ctrl+D. Now you should be able to login.

Here I am sharing how I make my desktop on. After getting help by peoples who gave to solve my problem which was I facing from few days back, unfortunately they didn't worked for me.

So I thought lets try it by upgrading distro version from 13.10 to 14.04 LTS. and it works for me and now I am able to logged in my desktop.

Thanks to @Venki, @Danatela for helping me to sort out my problem.
