I use Ubuntu Cloud Guest account and install xrdp (sudo apt-get install xrdp) then I use Remote Desktop Connection of Windows to remote it. But on login step I always get this error after I enter username and password even though I did enter them very carefully.

connecting to sesman ip 127.0.0.1 port 3350
sesman connect ok
sending login info to sesman
xrdp_mm_process_login_response: login failed

Am I missing something ?

I had similar problem, there are several problems with xrdp on ubuntu it seems. I found this page useful for solving some of the others, especially the keyboard problem with non-us keyboard.

As regards the login issue, there needs to be a group setup on the ubuntu machine called "tsusers", i added this group via the gui, but i believe there is a command line tool to do the same. You username that you want to login to xrdp will also need to be a member of this group. so user "john" (you) will need to have a group made "tsusers". Also for inexperienced users (such as myself!), when you login, login as "john", not "John", i believe linux usernames are actually all lowercase not first letter capitalised as it is for the gui login to ubuntu.

Regards
