I am trying out Ubuntu 11.04 on a netbook. I created a live USB to boot from using this:

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/

and the system boots up into Ubuntu from the USB stick, great!

bad news is I am presented with a login form.... I did not set a password so I have no idea what it could be....

username: other password:

I have tried no password, no luck... I tried ubuntu, no luck

Any Ideas why it has a password, and what it might be or how I can set the password?

So, I've been playing with asp:PasswordRecovery and discovered I really don't like it, for several reasons: 1) Alice's password can be reset even without having access to Alice's email. A security question for password resets mitigates this, but does not really satisfy me. 2) Alice's new password… >>> More

Why won't xattr PECL extension build on 12.10?
