It seems to me that you are describing a problem with Launchpad or
with your user account, not with Ubuntu. Are you sure that you were
using the correct password?

To install with WUBI, take an ordinary Ubuntu install CD, boot your PC
into Windows and then insert the Ubuntu CD. Follow the prompts. You do
not need to install anything extra or special, as far as I know. You
might find that you get further if you use the DVD image rather than
the CD one; the CD is getting very tight for space these days and some
things have been remove to save room.
