Asks me to Login when I run from CD

Question

I just downloaded the ISO for Ubuntu 10.10 and burned it to CD. When I click Try Ubuntu, it starts up and then asks for Login info. I couldn't find anything on the website (though I didn't search very hard). Does anyone know what it is.

Edit: If I must ask the obvious question, then what is the username and password?

Yes, in some strange cases it may ask you for the login (which is a bug). But if it does, try user "ubuntu" and password "ubuntu", or user "ubuntu" and no password (note that both the login and password are case-sensitive). — Rafał Cieślak, Mar 20 '11 at 11:15
i had that problem in earlier versions too and the info is what rafalcieslak said — David Rando, May 21 '11 at 01:04

Yes, in some strange cases it may ask you for the login (which is a bug).

But if it does, try using:

user: ubuntu, password: ubuntu

or

user: ubuntu, password: (blank password)

(note that both the login and password are case-sensitive).

I would try redownloading (or checking the md5 sum) and burning the iso again.
