I have asked for the output of a command, can you please run it and paste the output as an update.

Thanks

Press CTRL + ALT + T and run the command, what is the output?

 this is the command what i do, but the figure terminal appears and
disappears quickly.

Pardon for my ignorance, please understand me. this is my situation, I
buy a new computer, start working for the first time and entered the
session guest, where I have a dialog informing me that everything what
i do in this session will be deleted and i must save it in an appeal
external. As owner I want to access the session manager to make my
changes and when I am looking for in setting users accounts, it do not
give me access to the administrator account.

Attaching images to an email to Launchpad answers does not work. All attachments are immediately discarded, and we cannot see them.
If you want to provide a screenshot, you have to upload that image to an image hosting service, and paste the link that you get into the Launchpad answer document.

We want that you log in to your Ubuntu system (for the moment it does not matter whether it is a guest session or as a named user).
Open a terminal window (e.g. by simultaneously pressing ctrl-alt-t)

enter the following commands (one by one):

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
df -h
ls -l /home
whoami

Then use the terminal window's menu entries "edit - select all" and "edit - copy", and paste everything as a response into this laun0hcpad question document.

here exactly the problem is. when i press ctrl-alt-t, appears the
terminal window but it dessappeared quickly and while is press the
window clicking. please be pacient with me.

If you try opening a terminal by using the dash, does it immediately close as well?

Yes.So it is, when I press the command on the keyboard indicating the
terminal window, blinking as clicking, and not open.

Alt-f2 should open an input box to enter a command.
Type "nautilus" (without the quotes) into that box, hit 'Enter', and the file explorer program should start.
In the left half of the file explorer window you should then see a list of addresses like "Home", "Desktop", "Documents"..., and below that "Computer"
Click on "Computer", and you should see a different listing on the right hand side.
Please tell us what you see on the right hand side.

Among those folders there should be one with the word 'home'
double-click on it, and you should different folders

In resumen I want to access the administrator account to manage all
the changes that what i need to perform such as to update calendar and

If you now click on 'browse computer', you should see "bin dev home" and some more on the right hand side
double-click "home", and what do you see then in the right part of the window?

I see '' This location could not be displayed. You do not have the
permissions necessary to view the contests of home''.
i think that happens because I am in the guess session. It is the
reason that i need to be manager session. thank for your pacient. i
continue in contact.

Ok, it seems that this attempt was not successful.

I think the only possibility is using the recovery mode of Ubuntu.

Try following the procedure in http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword to find out the name of the administrative user, set a new password to that user, and then try logging in using this username and not the guest session.

i press shift during bootup but nothing occurs. i know about that
because in windows the process is similar. now how do i do tne pass?

I see only two possibilities:

1. You succeed in entering recovery mode (try pressing the shift key earlier or later during the boot process, repeatedly hit the shift key, etc.)
or
2. You can try re-installing Ubuntu from an Ubuntu installation kit on DVD or bootable USB stick.

good morning, I did not expect it to be as drastic as it is coming
reformat ubuntu. I think even then not give me courage. I much
appreciate the help. thanks you.
