How do you log in?
Are you asked for a password when logging in or did you select to be logged in automatically?

I login automatically. I was not asked for any password , but I can't
install any kinds of app in it , at that time authentication is asked and
asking to type a password but l don't know what the password is.

You can set up an Ubuntu system to do automatic logon without asking for the password, but whenever you do an administrative action (e.g. installing additional software), then you need to provide your password for confirmation.

If you do not remember your password any more, you can set a new one by following the instructions in this link:

If you have problems following the instructions, don't hesitate to ask again.

Is the ctrl key stuck?

Even though if I want to just type 'c' and if I clik on it , it is found as
^C in screen.
Crtl key is fine in my system.

Is this just the c key, or all keys?
Is this only in the terminal window or also somewhere else?

Sir,
     This problem is just in terminal and the problem is with 'c' key only.
No other keys have this problem.

I have never heard about a problem like this.

If you start xterm, does it work there?
