Beachballing on login screen: Apple Support Communities
Solved the issue…
After reading the system logs using Console app, I found out that when you have “allow users to reset password using apple id” enabled in user account, it seems like on startup my mac keeps on trying to verify the account is a safe account with apple servers or something, and that keeps it locking up and throwing a beach ball attack…
I simply deleted the associated apple id in the user account, and also unchecked the “allow users to reset… using apple id” option, and the problem seemed to go away.
Nice work Ke Sun. You put us mac techs out of business.

AS noted by the original author, the solution only worked temporarily and the problem continues to persist. Please help!
I am sorry that I missed that it only worked temporarily. I would see if I could delete any kexts.
Also could it be your monitor like this post? http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t…
