Partition problems

My hard drive was partitioned improperly, and I had run out of storage room for both regular files and system update files. To solve this, I used the GParted tool to eliminate all partitions except for the boot, which I then expanded over the entire hard drive. Unfortunately, I now have to “press S to skip mounting” during startup, and have to log in to the guest account even though the computer recognizes my main account's password as valid. It might be related to the fact that my drive was encrypted, and the decryption text box no longer appears during startup as it did before. While I did back up all my files, there are some programs and settings that I could not and would not want to lose, so I'd prefer fixing this without reinstalling my entire OS (Trisquel 7) if possible. Can anyone tell me what to do?

I don't understand this part. Surely you have to mount your single partition during boot, otherwise how can you boot anything?
Also, you say that you expanded the boot partition to fill the whole hard disk. In that case, what happened to your root (and home) partition/directory? Those are where all your 'system settings' should be stored. Do you have multiple hard disks?
It is indeed not clear. What is the content your /etc/fstab? Haven't you forgotten to recreate in /home the home folders of the users?, to make them (e.g., with 'sudo chown') the owners of their respective home folders? Can you open your encrypted home folder from a live system following the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Live_CD_method_of_opening_a_encrypted_home_directory ?
