I am only able to see the opening screen of cosmic cuttlefish ~ i can sometimes scroll down to the password ~ sometimes not. When I can scroll I cannot enter the password ~ the letters just disappear.

Can you access ttys? If yes can you print the output of /var/log/syslog please? Also have you tried booting with nomodeset?
