I was using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and the update window appeared. I did update and then when my PC restarted I had and still have this screen.

I know if I open grub and enter recovery mode:

I could reset the root password, but when I enter recovery mode it loads all files but when it finishes, the expected screen with options doesn't appear and I get a screen like the first one.

I have more than one recovery mode, but it's always the same, I get the login screen again.

What should I do?

Try this:

A. Boot your PC with the Ubuntu Live DVD/USB.

B. Open a terminal,

Press Ctrl+Alt+T

C. Use fdisk utility to list the partitions on a hard drive.

    sudo fdisk -l

Suppose it informs that / is /dev/sda1, continue running:

sudo umount /dev/sda1
sudo fsck -y /dev/sda1
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
sudo mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
sudo chroot /mnt
nano /etc/resolv.conf

In the open file paste these lines:

nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

Ctrl+O Save File

Ctrl+X Close nano

Continue running:

dpkg --configure -a
apt-get -f install
apt-get -m install
apt-get update
apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get autoremove
apt-get clean
exit
sudo reboot
