I do not know what could be causing this issue
Passwords are stored in /etc/shadow. Make sure this file matches up with
/etc/passwd
To attempt to recover, you might try booting from your Ubuntu live CD,
mounting your partition, chrooting to it's mount point and changing the
password with the `passwd' command.
