I just installed Ubuntu 13.04. I used Wubi so I could have a windows dual boot setup because I am new to Linux and wanted to be able to switch back to Windows (7) if need be. Everything seemed to install properly.

I entered the initial information: installation size, drive, language, desktop envi, username, and password

I rebooted my computer and selected Ubuntu instead of windows, but when I enter my username and password (the same exact credentials I had typed in for the initial information window a few min. ago) it keeps giving me a wrong password error message. I can log in via a guest account, but cant do much from that. I cannot connect to the internet except with Ethernet cord. From the guest account I cannot edit user accounts.

[one thing I did notice that I thought was odd is that on the initial information window I mentioned above I remember it saying Ubuntu 12.04 but when I went into thew guest account and clicked system information it said I had Ubuntu 13.04....]

I am new to Linux, but I'm not a computer idiot and do not know what the problem could be??

    Have you tried reseting your password? Wouldn't hurt

    Wubi is no longer supported as of 13.04. At the Wubi download page, it is said "For 12.04 LTS only.". You'll be better off with a dual boot, but to reset your password, look here: askubuntu.com/questions/24006/…

You may want to boot into Single User mode and reset your password from there.
