Title:
  LiveCD: default user password, lock screen problem

Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I downloaded and tried the latest dapper liveCD.  
  I launched a terminal window and the text in the window said "To execute a command as root, run 'sudo <command>' and enter your password.".  This is a problem because the user has just booted a liveCD and does not know his username or his password.

  Also, in the System menu is an option to "Lock Screen", the mouseover
  message for this says "Protect your computer from unauthorized use".
  So I clicked on the Lock Screen menu item and sure enough my screen
  was locked!  When I moved my mouse I was presented with a window that
  said "Ubuntu LiveCD User" with "ubuntu" in small text under that and a
  password prompt.  I tried no password and also ubuntu as the password,
  neither was accepted.
