I am having a problem installing Ubuntu 8.10

[Sam Litman]

To whom it may concern:
             My name is Sam Litman, and I am having a problem installing Ubuntu 8.10. I burned a cd of the Linux OS, and a screen comes up to install, but, it asks for a username and password. I did install Ubuntu 8.04 several months ago, but, I had to bring my computer back to factory specs. I must have put in a username and password at that time, but, I don't know what my password is at all, or if I even have one. the username is coming up saml, but, I do not know what the password was from before. I want to be able to install Ubuntu 8.10, but am not able to because of the password. I need to know how to reset the password to get a new one or how to get the password from before. I hope I can get some help in this matter soon. Thank you.
