Now it automatically boots into a collored screen that asks for the login name and password but after I type them in it gives me a blue screen with an icon in the lower left corner. The mouse doesn't work and each key results in a beep and nothing else. What wen't wrong and how do I stop it from boooting into X.

Sounds like you have installed xdm (or gdm), you could remove it with
apt or dselect.
You should still be able to get to the console by pressing ctrl-alt-f1
If your mouse and/or keyboard arent working try setting it up again with
XF86Setup
