When logged in to the terminal look for a file in home directory called .Xauthority (hidden file) use ls -al. If the file is owned by root use sudo chown <user>:<user> .Xauthority.

You may have a problem with the keyboard/language settings? It seems the initial installation determines the layout for the login page, and even if you have changed the default keyboard layout, the login keyboard layout does not change with it. This happened to me and to Vic. Since 11.10 lightDM is used and it is described here. For 12.04 the procedure is described here, but it seems to be buggy.
