If this is an Intel Mac—

Try resetting the SMC How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support

Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)

Make some changes here—and compare your results

I see you're saying negative— can not log in. That is a problem.

in that case:

Call Customer Support  (800) MY–APPLE (800–692–7753)

or on line  Apple Support

or call  AppleCare Support at 1-800-APLCARE (800-275-2273)

How can you get the "Name" from terminal. I can open terminal in recover mode... I am sure password is correct as it passes the login screen"

What is your user name?

Can you see the list of user from Terminal.app This will list all registered users on you computer, copy and paste:

dscl . list /Users | grep -v '_'

your user name should be in this list.

if no insight/resolve/progress,

I see a lot of options to try— "Please look at this link. as this is exactly my problem... "
