Can't login to GUI with my Valid password

I have ubuntu server 12.10 and installed ubuntu-desktop to access it via GUI and changed the default runlevel to 5. Now I get the GUI login screen with my username (display name) but when i enter my password the screen just flicks and comes back to login screen ( doesnt give me any error). the same user works fine with same credentials in CLI.



strange thing is when i click on guest, it logs me in straight away and works fine.



Any solution please.




PS: I am new to Ubuntu/linux, Keeping in mind, please be basic and simple.
