    The fast way might be to just re-load Ubuntu and give it the same 
password and name you used the first time. The name has to be one word 
and the password also one word but it should have a number in it.

    I am 7 years older than you. Your windows is still there. You need 
to read the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and that will tell you how to add 
Windows to the grub loader. Then you can boot either Windows or Ubuntu.
