      In the unix world we resopnd to this with RTFM - Read the fine manual. (depending on how stupid your question is other adjitives are often substituted for fine) In this case, if you read http://livecd.sourceforge.net/documentos.php you will see the following: If you did not customize user/group and passwords, the default root account is passwordles. Enjoy ;-) Note that the documentation is aweful at this point, feel free to contribute better documents. P.S. I word my question this way because unix is not idiot friendly. You will need to learn where to find answers to your questions. I found the answer in less than 5 minutes, you should be able to do the same.

I already found this statement at the bottom of the project documentation. But I don't know what is passwordles. I try to type root as the login name and passwordles as the password but the system prompt me that incorrect login. I don't know what to do. Do you have any idea to explain this more clearly?

            Yes, I do that. I type root as the user name and password is blank but the screen display Incorrect login. I don't know what to do with it. Have you try this operating system yet?

              FreeBSD is my main OS, but I don't use the live CD, so I can't directly answer questions. Try a different support area, most people on code project use windows. I'm not sure which is best though. Make sure you specify exactly what you are typing, the exact version of the CD you are using, where you got it from.

                I have 2 reason that I use FreeBSD LiveCD: 1. I want to learn UNIX at home for personal use and education purpose only. I want to know how it working windows and linux environment. 2. Because I have less PC and less of hard disk space, most of operating system that I use is LIVECD (to save disk space). Except windows and linux redhat that I have to install on hard disk. For Suse linux (both KDE and Genome), Knoppix and Mandrake, I use LiveCD. Because I just need it when I need to study...

For me, in codeproject I will answer any question that I know clear, whether it relate to windows or linux (I just begin linux too). Henry miller wrote: where you got it from I get it from here.[^]
