It might help to know:
Which terminal (a VC in the absence of X, an xterm, a VC while X is running...),
Did this happen right away with logging in,
How did you eventually recover (assuming you have),
What were you doing immediately before it happened.

As you can see from the references you gave, the reasons might
be more obvious once these factors are revealed.

(Note that reset can only work if typed at the shell prompt, not if
you're stuck inside some application.)

Cheers,
David.
