I followed the second answer of this question to install nvidia drivers on my lenovo z570. But now, as a result, My ubuntu 14.04 is unresponsive. Mouse clicks not working. The login screen looks perfect, but after typing in the password, the screen's resolution changes to very low and nothing works...

Will i have to reinstall Ubuntu again ? or if any, what is the procedure to revert back the changes (uninstall all nvidia drivers).

Any help would be appreciated greatly.

First boot recovery mode https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode

Then remove the current driver

sudo apt-get remove --purge bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus nvidia-331

Now you can boot to your full install again, open a terminal,

Then try installing again but with two commands

sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus

Reboot to confirm this is not the issue

Then run

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

Reboot

To switch between the two different GPUs first make sure this is installed and your system is upto date

sodo apt-get install linux-headers-generic && apt-get upgrade

Now install this 

sudo apt-get install bbswitch-dkms

This should allow you to use the switch on your laptop to switch GPUs
