Have you tried user name 'ubuntu' with a blank password?

One of the Ubuntu Forum pages says 'ubuntu' with a blank password for the Live CD at least. &nbsp;All operating systems past DOS have logins, just that most single user Windows systems are set to login automatically. &nbsp;If you add a second user on your machine, you will see a login screen the next time you boot up.

<a href="http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/" rel="ugc">http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/</a><br />
<br />
and the system boots up into Ubuntu from the USB stick, great!<br />
<br />
bad news is I am presented with a login form.... I did not set a password so I have no idea what it could be....<br />
<br />
username: other<br />
password: <br />
<br />
I have tried no password, no luck... I tried ubuntu, no luck<br />
<br />
<br />
Any Ideas why it has a password, and what it might be or how I can set the password?<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />
