You could login at a console and eliminate the gui as a problem.
Type alt-ctrl-f3 to get a console.

Thank you for that suggestion.
I could login from a console.
Clearly the problem was not my password.
Auto-relabel did not get me back to the gui,
but just getting a console meant I could actually work.
I created another user and discovered
that that user could login from the gui.
Eventually I:
Created another wheel user;
from that user, renamed my home directory and put a dummy in its place;
userdel'ed my account;
uaseradd'ed my account with UID 1000 .

Never did figure out why the gui did not like me.
