Although I've set up a username and password when I was installing Ubuntu 13.04, when I type in my password it says it's incorrect although language is checked and my password's correct. What's wrong?

If You don't want to reinstall your os, then you can boot from a live CD an generate passwd hash, and replace the line in /etc/shadow

The structure of the file is:
