I have recently upgraded from Ubuntu 15.10 LTS to 16.04 LTS via the upgrade notification i have received.
The laptop boots up and i am shown the login screen with the 3 previously created accounts.
If i log in with the admin account in GUI mode, i am taken to a black screen. I can switch to a terminal and log in with the admin acccount, so the credentials are ok.
If i log in with any of the other 2 accounts i am taken to the normal desktop.
Any ideas as to why this is happening and how do i get the GUI mode back for my admin account?
I am new to ubuntu so i might not be aware of all the commands.

I had the exact same problem. I found the solution here:
Finally run
sudo reboot
, Ubuntu restarts, and then you can log in again normally.
