I installed UBUNTU 12.04 LTS today. I had kept my password as "1317kmb".On restarting and updating it asks for password. when i use the above mentioned password, it does not accepts. I don't know why? How can I reset password. All my enthusiasm of using UBUNTU has been lost by this.

You may try typing the password on the user name field to make sure that you are actually entering the correct password.

Open a Terminal window or access the prompt from your grub menu (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword) and type in

sudo passwd

Enter your password at the prompt and follow the on-screen instructions

Please Note When you enter your password and confirm it, nothing is displayed on the screen... It's not your keyboard!
