Why has login via ssh and sudo stopped working

I was logged in for some time via ssh 3.2.9 to a Ubuntu 14.0.4 machine. I had run quite a few sudo commands. On one command, I got the message "Can't find user 1002: Who are you?" I logged off, restarted ssh client and attempted to log in again. The ssh connection/Ubuntu machine is no longer accepting my credentials I used to log in many times before. Any ideas?

Thanks
