Hello and Welcome.
Is Xange the name of it? I've never heard of that before. Why is it asking you for a password, what are you attempting to do?
Did you try using sudo in front of your command?
sudo commandname

I moved your thread here to the "Other" distro section.

It's a recent distro, based on Fedora, using KDE. Personally, I don't know anything about how it works.

To me it's not clear if the OP is running it from CD or that he has installed it on disk. May be he can supply that info, it would help answering the question.

There is no need to get upset, no one is trying to throw your questions back at you. I personally had never heard of it before. Usually if there is a password you can find it on the homepage website of the distro. That would probably be the best place to look anyways. Someone probably has tried this distro before but they might not have had the same problems you are having, or maybe they just don't post to the forums for whatever reason.

You could also try user/user or root/root as password/user name.

did/did I want to thank all for the response's I recieved on my question
and pass on that after more investigation have discovered that it may well be a hardware problem it seems that my vga card will not handle this distro my only concern now is that ,that should have been reported in the bootup process of the cd
something like 'video card won't handel xange' oh well live and learn thanks again
