    Hi Terry

    That is strange,  the Live images should work just fine without needing
    to enter any password to login.

    I have tested most of the images myself, they start with the desktop
    associated with the image that you chose and do not require that you
    enter a username or password.

    Should you need to escalate to root privileges then sudo -i will be
    suficiant (again without needing to enter a password)

    Which image did you download, and where did you download it from?


    Best regards

    So what are the logins and passwords?

    FTR: Terry found us in IRC on #debian-cd and we've been trying to
    debug his problem there.
