First logon as whoever you can and see if your home folder is still
there (/home/aswin, or whatever your username was).  If it is then
take a backup copy of it as insurance.

Then this link may help

There are several suggestions, read through the whole thread carefully
first and make sure you understand what you are doing at each step so
you do not make matters worse.  If you do not understand one of the
steps use google to help you work out what it means.

Keep a note of what you do and what happens in case you get stuck so
we can help further.

Good luck

Colin
