Thank you.
But I cannot make it work.
Ctrl+Alt+F1 => I get the console

However, neither anything entered as a NEW password, nor the prior
password is accepted.

Ooops. If your usual user is the same as the one you created at Mint install, the password should be the same.

What I can see:

- you have different users

- you login without password (not sure how it works with "sudo", I never did these kind of insecure setups). Maybe just <return> works in that case ?

- your keyboard is not recognized the same way on console and graphical interface. This happens sometimes, and can be difficult (ex: azerty vs qwerty etc...).

No other clue, sorry.

When I press enter, there is something about starting a virtual machine
(VM Player, but at 4 am I am too tired to write all that down ...)

Do you mean it tries to start something while you are in text mode, or graphical one ?
 

Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del   WILL logout and restart the computer - which it
did not on the black screen.

"SOMETIMES" - not always - I get in the upper left corner "Applications
/ Places".
But going in there in an attempt at creating a new user, or changing the
language etc., produces just a flicker of the screen.

Well. I don't like the "sometimes" word.
