Try just hitting CTRL-D. If it comes back to the same screen, log in. You might need a password, but Ubuntu pretty much has training wheels on everything, so maybe you just hit enter to log in.
In most debian forks, such as Ubuntu, but maybe not Ubuntu, you enter the root password at the screen in your photograph, and you get init level 1, which is CLI ( command line line interface ), so you need to type in the commands. NO GUI!
But you should have networking. If you don't, that complicates things a bit, because you're going to need it. You'll need another PC to go online, unless you have networking, and then you would install lynx apt install lynx
You can launch any cli program (programs that run in a terminal) by typing the name. Every program should run from the shell you're in, if you were able to log in!
If you try ping google.com and nothing happens, you don't have networking. You really should ask a separate question for how to activate networking from the command line
I was always thrilled to have to punch my way back into the system using cli because then I could learn something new; something I couldn't just discipline myself to sit down and read about! You earn your stripes when you can't boot into the gui.
Have a look at the system log using the command journalctl -xb Look for anything like warning failed, stuff like that. You can page the /var/log/syslog file with less /var/log/syslog You can also filter for certain keywords, like gdmcat /var/log/syslog | grep gdm` Gdm is a good bet, because the gui won't come up without it.
You can usually repair the system by updating various packages, using dselect.
