David,

If he installed Ubuntu, the installer would have prompted him for a
username and password. That's what he would use to login. If he's using
the livecd, then there shouldn't be a username and password, at least
not in the most recent builds (~since 8.04?). I'm not familiar with
earlier versions than 8.04.
