I am using raspbian on raspberry pi 3. I recently changed the network interface from this blog. https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-3-network-setup/setting-up-wifi-with-occidentalis

I made a mistake by deleting the existing lines of the interface file and replacing it with the contents given in the website.

PROBLEM: My raspberry pi does the booting but it stops at "systemd-hostnamed.service"

Is there any other alternative other than formatting the SD card? I would be grateful if someone could help me with this :)

"Is there any other alternative" - YES DO NOT follow obsolete tutorials, which even for the obsolete OS would not be best practice. The Adafruit website is full of obsolete information which should have been deleted years ago.

If you did nothing, but enter the WiFi details in the GUI it would have worked.

See How to set up networking/WiFi to restore to normal settings.

Since you are not able to mount the card, assuming that you have a Windows PC and that you can put the card in the PC, get this: https://www.paragon-software.com/home/linuxfs-windows/

Once you install, reboot your computer, and now you can access the Linux FS (ext4). You modify the stuff in the file with the right values, unmount it (from the system tray icon), and put it in your Raspi.

Alternatively, you can use a serial connection if you buy an USB to serial dongle.
