This could be that you thought you set the password as for example "12345" and actually entered "!@#$%" Also which version of Ultimate Edition are you using. You can check your password by going to System/Administration/Users and Groups. But if that fails and you haven't done much with Ultimate Edition, either re-install or wait for 3.0. I have no word about it's release, but it is coming soon.
yes my password is entered correctly as i had to use it for installing software via software centre. i'll wait for 3.0 to come out as i'm sure i could simply use software centre in the meantime, i changed very little in the general makeup of the install other than installing software i wanted.
thanks for the help so far
