My password does not work

$

I have installed VirtualBox and Xubuntu today, and have set a password and took a photo of it while on the "unattended guest OS install set up".

After then completing all the steps that were described on the Odin Project website, I finally got to the login part, only to find out that the same exact password I took a picture of was classified as incorrect.

How did this happen? Am I missing something, since the computer is always right?

I tried resetting my password, by restarting and then pressing Shift + Esc and got to the point of "give root password for maintenance". This now confuses me even more as I don’t know my password in the first place. I have read and seen that I am supposed to type in linux as my maintenance password, however this was also unsuccessful. Do you think I should restart the whole OS, as in delete it and install again?
