You don't need to reinstall. Just disable the Display Manager so you
can boot into regular text mode.
If you're at the GRUB menu, you can edit the kernel selection before
booting into it, and add a boot parameter to this list:
systemd.unit=multi-user.target
That will override the default target for one boot only.
