Try to do this:
1. Login into Ubuntu
2. Open a terminal by hitting CTRL + ALT + T
3. Insert and run this commands:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
pkill gnome-panel

4. Restart and this should work.

If after the login you cant open a terminal by hitting CTRL + ALT + T, please, at login screen select Recovery Console, here is a screenshot:

than follow with the 3th step.
