Basically i wanted to delete an account on my linux mint and i accidentally deleted mine, now im stuck in the login screen and i cant log into my account with my previous password, and i cant do anything, what do i do?
Timeshift is a Backup and restore program that comes with Linux Mint.Im not really good with tech, what is timeshift snapshot?
Hold down CTRL + ALT + F1 or F2 to get the commandline.
Type passwd and tap Enter.
Now you will be prompted to enter your new password and confirm it by retyping it once more.
I think you can. And then log in as root and transfer your files to the other acount. BUT SAVE YOUR STUFF TO ANOTHER DRIVE BEFORE YOU MESS AROUND.I dont think so. And as im thinking, is this possible to create a new account from the login menu?
Booting into a Live DVD or USB is wise as @sofasurfer told you.But i cant login as root, because i cant login at all, im just stuck with the user and the input password thing

First thing I would do is load up a live dvd, access your glitched system and transfer your /home files to another partition or another hard drive for safe keeping.
I will take a wild guess that you have deleted your user account......and you dont have another "user' which you can log in with ???i wanted to delete an account on my linux mint and i accidentally deleted mine,
