I am in a big trouble. I brought the PC recently with Ubuntu. I tried to partition the drives. I dont know what I did. :(.

When I try switch on the system I get a message like this: An error occured while mounting /mnt/86e885b7-da67-4784-91d9-4a6e-295f04fe

Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

if I press S

Then it takes me to login. But I am not able to login with my password. I only can login as a guest user. And I can't access /home.

If I press M

it takes me to the terminal.

Please help me. I don't have any clue. Thanks

EDITED

What I did is....

i) I opened Disks

ii) selected home and clicked on Unmount the filesystem

iii) Now the play symbol is not coming on the home partition

iv) NOw, if I click on Mount the file system then it shows like : Error mounting filesystem Not authorized to perform operation (udisks-error-quark, 4)

v) even sudo command is not working

There was an error in my /etc/fstab, so I have added this line:

LABEL=HOME /home ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1

After that I was able to login properly but it was very slow. I was unable to do anything.

Then I tried booting in the recovery mode. There, I got one line like this 

Repair broken packages

Then I clicked on that line and got this message:

Continuing will remount your filesystem in read/write mode and mount any other filesystem defined in /etc/fstab

then clicked Yes.

After that it took around 15 minutes to repair. Now it's good and pretty fast.
