Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: Attempting to change lid close action to “hibernate” broke everythinig

I have an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS laptop that dual-boots with Windows 10. I was fed up with all of my programs quitting every time I close the lid, so I attempted to change the lid close action to "hibernate," like my Windows side does. I followed the guide here: http://tipsonubuntu.com/2018/04/28/change-lid-close-action-ubuntu-18-04-lts/
Immediately after running the Systemd restart command, I was kicked to the login screen, and was unable to login again: I kept returning to the login screen after each attempt. When I powered off the laptop and attempted to boot, Ubuntu entered emergency mode. I thought perhaps reverting my changes in /etc/systemd/logind.conf would fix the issue, but it still persists. Does anyone know how I can make my computer work properly again? I can provide any additional information necessary.

Did you test hibernation prior to changing the lid close action?

I did not. This may have been stupid of me, but I assumed that it would work, given that hibernation works on the Windows side of my machine. I re-commented the line in logind.conf, though, and it didn't fix it.

Hibernate is tricky, and I recent;y have stopped using it because of repeated corruption of my hard drive. Try this - load up a live USB of Ubuntu, boot it on your computer and runfsck -f /dev/sdxxto check the integrity of your disks.

I will do that. However, I should stress that I never actually attempted to hibernate Ubuntu at all. This problem started as soon as I ran the command to reload Systemd - it logged me out and wouldn't let me log in again, then went into emergency mode after I tried restarting.

K - I don't think that the changes to logind.conf should have caused an issue - I tried reloading as mentioned in the article once (for another purpose) but never again. Can you append your question with the text of/etc/systemd/logind.conf?
