    Login to Fedora 16 LiveCD?

    Trying to boot up Fedora 16 KDE 32bit, and it loads great, but when it gets to the login screen I'm baffled.

    I'm trying to install it on my laptop, but after trying the liveCD out first.

    Login screen appears, with "liveuser" as the username, and password blank.

    Ive tried combinations like liveuser:root, liveuser:liveuser, root:root, etc... and can't seem to login. I even tried just hitting 'enter' with no password, and even no username and password.

    What is the password to get in? Or have I already did something wrong?? Thanks in advance!

    Don't fix it if it ain't broken, and don't break it if you can't fix it.

    When you see pigs fly it means Window$ has become open source.

    Solution:

    I just simply rebooted the next morning and it never took me to a login screen (?) and never had the problem again.


    So, problem solved! Just reboot if this ever happens to anyone else but I'd still like to know what the password is, WHEN and IF that happens again.
