You need to push CTRL and ALT, hold it. While holding the two keys, push
F3. The problem which F-key to push is not to know, on which the GUI is
running on your computer. So press CTRL and ALT and hold it while pushing
for example F6, or any other F-key, until you are dropped to a TTY
(text-mode only, no mouse support).

If that happens, you might be already logged in. If not, supply the name
of the user you (hopefully) set up on installation, hit ENTER. Then enter
the password (it will not be echoed, so type it in blindly).

There you might to want to become root to have full access to the
system. Try entering

sudo su

When booting you might see the GRUB, counting down. Hit SHIFT (or
possibly any other key) to stop automated booting. You should see a menu
which should allow you to select "safe boot" or similar. Move there and
hit ENTER (or F10 if ENTER doesn't work).
