That's weird. It should have just booted you straight into the live
environment and given you a desktop.

First obvious question, did you actually INSTALL anything? or Did
you try the top button that says "Try Ubuntu"?

As for login, try username ubuntu and leave the password blank. I
THINK that was the default for the older live CDs and may still hold
true.

I'm more interested though in why you're getting a login prompt for
the live environment... what kind of system are you running? what
kind of hardware is in it?

This sounds like he has an old (early) version of 10.04. Either that or
there is a ubiquity regression:
