When running from a Live_CD, at (most) places where you would normally need to enter a password you do not need to do so when running from a Live_CD.
gOS 3 normally defaults to a very safe video driver, actually it defaults to very save guesses as to what your video card and monitor are together capable of. This normally means that it widely underestimates the max screen resolution and supports no higher than 800x600. By the way, gOS always uses 16-bit per pixel, so it never skimps on numbers of colors supported. So what to do if you want to have a higher screen resolution, and better support of video-hardware-acceleration and such thing. Well, you just need to tell it what the actual video card is in your system, and what monitor you are using. You won't find this program directly in the menu's because it is not turned on in the menu's. To turn it (its called "Screens and Graphics", and it normally resides in the "Other" menu) on, you need to use the "Main Menu" editor. in : System Preferences > Preferences > Main Menu Click on the "Other" icon in the left "Menus" colum, then turn the tag before it on in the "Items" section. Now click on close, and you will find "Screens and Graphics" in "others" in the main menu. Run it and enter your password (when not running from a Live CD) Click on the "Graphics card" tab, and select the correct driver for your video card. Now choose your "screen" (CRT monitor or LCD monitor). If you now the exact brand and type choose that, otherwise try generic and try "plug and play" (which now might work, because you have chosen the correct video card), or if plug and play does not work try to set the generic screen type with the max resolution you know will work with your monitor. Now you should be able to set a higher resolution of your choice. you can test it with the "test" button before defaulting to it.
