Xubuntu livecd username and password?


I am trying to install xubuntu and after I boot I am required with a username and login. I have read that for the username try ubuntu and leave the password blank, but this does not work for me. I have the xubuntu x86 desktop cd. Anyone know how I can log in and install Xubuntu?

when I installed Ubuntu, it asked me for a name and password during install. Did you enter a name and password during install?

I wonder what the issue was the first time... I could not think of anything off the top of my head, but that does not mean anything...


Congratulations on your success!

Happy plunking!
