I was playing video games on ubuntu last night and when i woke up this morning i cannot get into my account i tried crtl+alt+F1/2/3 but i renamed my account a little while ago to "Root" (I thought i wouldnt have to type "sudo" everytime i added a repository) both names dont work to login with. i can only logon to the guest account

Boot into recovery (second option from GRUB menu), go to shell, from there
# passwd <your user name>
You can also reset 'root' password with just
# passwd
