(or <F6>) you should get a shell login prompt. Linux runs multiple login screens. from there you can login as your user.

It is after log-in that the screen turns blue with no response visible

Can you ssh to the system and login to a command line?
Can you physically get to the system where you can edit the system before it starts (grub you hit "e" when the splash screen id up as it starts to boot. I can give you a series of commands that will boot to a shell as root.
