How to change my password?

Question

I installed Ubuntu 13.04 through wubi file, where we set username & passwd preinstalling of Ubuntu,but now I couldn't login with my username even though I typed the correct password, as it is showing it as wrong password.

@guntbert - The solution (boot to recovery mode) applies to wubi — Panther, Jun 07 '13 at 19:40
