Cannot boot after sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
I have tried to boot into command line in Ubuntu 18.10 using ‘sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target’, however on reboot I get nothing...no GUI, no command line, just a black screen...now I cannot boot up at all! Is there anything I can do?

I faced the same problem. I did ctrl + alt + f2 on the keyboard as given in this question. This automatically takes one to the command line login...and from there it is easy. Adding this answer, just in case if someone got stuck and looking for an answer.
