Hello,
I am attempting to run Debian-Live 7.6.0 from a usb drive (version found
here http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/bt-hybrid/)
and I am unable to log in to the default user or root account.
There is not any
default
root password.
In other words (if I recall correctly) you are automatically logged in
at boot as the default non-root user. From there,
You can switch to root with sudo -i or set a
password for root with sudo passwd.
And, if my memory is right, you can't log in to a virtual console as
root until you set a password.
(Somebody correct me if my memory's bad here.)
User is auto-logged in to the system, ctrl+alt+F1 and you will get '$'
and sudo passwd enter new password (root) and again (root) and then su
enter root and you get '#'
I hope that's clear.
