I am not able to login to arch linux .It says "Incorrect login" and do not even asking for password.
I am trying to login using virtual console. GDM also do not allow me to login.

Root password work? Change the user password from there. Examine security logs...

Try to boot with live media (arch install cd, etc), chroot into your system and see what happens.
Try to change passwords from there.

I booted to shell using arch linux live usb .
mount /dev/sda3 /motr
cd /motr
mount -t proc proc proc/
mount -t sysfs sys sys/
mount -o bind /dev dev/
mount -t devpts pts dev/pts/
But when i did chroot /motr /bin/bash .
It says
FATAL:kernel too old.
I have linux kernel version 3.8.10 installed and live usb have 3.8.4.

Any chance the live USB is 32 bits and Arch is 64 bits? Or vice versa?

i have live cd 2013.03-4 archboot x86_64.
Should i use archlinux-2013.05.01-dual.iso . This version do not have x86_64 version. I suppose dual will work for both architecture.
I was able to chroot into my system by using may's live image.
When i try to add user by using command user -r piyhatt
It says useradd:PAM Module is unknown
when i try to change password. using command passwd piyush
passwd: Module is unknown
passwd: password unchanged
piyush was my login which is not working now.

pam_tally --reset --user <username> and sudo pam-auth-update --force .Did not help me.
I had to reinstall pam.
I do not know for some reason both pacman.conf and mirrorlist was absent in my filesystem .
However pacsave was present.
I edited pacsave files and updated my system fully.
I am able to use my system now.
