I installed my Ubuntu today and I logged out but now it asks for username and password which I never set up. Please help!

How did you not set a password?
You can reboot into single user mode to reset the password:
- Reboot
- When the bootloader loads, press e
- find the "kernel line", it starts with
linux /booot/...
- Delete the characters:
ro quiet splash $vt_handoff
- Replace them with
rw init=/bin/bash
- Press x to boot
- At the command prompt type `passwd {YourUsername} and enter your new password.
- Reboot and user the password you just set.
