I was in password hell too, ended up changing my e-mail address, well not changing it, giving Apple another e-mail address to keep the password hell to a minimum.
It does have my e-mail address from when I was a MobileMe User. The e-mail address it wouldn't let me use when I was installing is still "me" but I didn't feel like fighting.

Subject: [iPad] OS5 upgrade versus iTunes
I am getting VERY tired of the whole password reset process.
Tonight it was prompted while completing OS5 upgrade on my iPad.
Although I had the then current password on my Touch in 1Password (confirmed with 1Password on my iMac) I was prompted to change my password.
I did once again. It was accepted then wanted my email address. THEN I was told there is already an account by that name in use. So why the hell doesn't it state that at the beginning of this process?
Now, once again I cannot login and don't know which F*@!king password is in effect.
I'm beginning to believe Apple outsourced this process to either Micro$oft or TRS80 programming teams.
So far, this upgrade has taken twice as long as the Lion upgrade and it just notified me it's starting to restore music and videos.
