Normally I would say login as root and create a new user... but I'm not sure that's an option in Ubuntu since they have you sudo everything with no password.
far...out

Why don't you boot wioth a live cd and make the /home again
Question: how did you accidently delete /home?

you should be able to get there as root when you log into a textconsole.
(i haven't actually tried that)(you might have more luck on a ubuntu-forum if want it spelled out)
Otherwise download a live-cd.
If you get reallllly stuck let know by pm and i will try it with my compu.
