Because there is an entry for the device in /dev, Debian recognised it and has 
a driver for it.

I think that you still must add your userid to the group that has access to the 
device. First, find out the device's group:

$ ls -l /dev/sr0
brw-rw---T+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 jan 30 11:45 /dev/sr0

In my case, the device's name is /dev/sr0. It may differ in your situation.

Then, as root, add your userid to the devices group:
# adduser andrey cdrom

I assume that your userid is andrey...

Then, log out and log in again, until then the group change will have no effect.

In normal circumstances that should not be necessary.
Note that username and password must match exactly, and that the username 
should not contain uppercase letters or "weird" characters. It is usually 
safest to stick to the set a-z0-9 for the username.
If the username is ok, then the password might mismatch.
Try resetting it to some "easy" value (temporarily!) by issuing the command (as 
root user):
passwd username
(where you replace username by your wife's username of course).
If that does not help, something strange is the matter and further 
issue-solving will be needed.
