Bug Description

After installation of UBUNDU i can not get logged in.
Are there any suggestions on how to change username and password other than reinstall?

Did you try to open root terminal (in normal terminal execute "su" command) and adding new user or changing current users password? Anyway this is not a bug. So i believe this entry must be deleted.

You can boot into recovery mode and then look at /etc/passwd to find out the username of the user you added. It will probably be user 1000. Then you should be able to use 'passwd $username', where $username is the name of the user that was created, to change the password.
