Ubuntu not connecting to wireless after restarting networking service

Question

There was a problem with my internet connection and I thought that restarting the networking service might fix the problem. So I used sudo service networking restart command. However, my window manager crashed and I had to restart laptop to get it back. The problem is, ever since after that I haven't been able to connect to my WiFi. Anybody knows a solution to this?

Edit: I can see the wireless networks. When I connect to mine, Ubuntu keeps asking me for password even though I enter the right password.

Please give us more info. Do you see wireless networks but you can't connect to them? Does it keep on asking you for a password? Or does your laptop not show you any wireless networks and doesn't recognize your wireless card? — Alaa Ali, Jun 20 '13 at 06:27
Go to the wireless icon at the top right > Edit connections... > Delete your Wireless network, then try to connect again. If it doesn't work, take a look at this answer. — Alaa Ali, Jun 20 '13 at 15:19

If the wireless keeps on asking you for the password, do this:

Click on the wireless icon on the top right.
Go to Edit Connections...
Highlight and delete the wireless network you are trying to connect to.
Try to connect again.
