You don't mention what version or what kind of Ubuntu you installed.
Was it a text-mode (non-graphical) install? Maybe you installed the
server version, in which case the username is probably root. If you
installed the LiveCD, it's pretty obvious when it's asking you for
what username you want. It's one of the few questions you get asked...
