None of this makes any sense... I'm not implying that you are wrong,
just that it doesn't make any sense for any of the CD's or DVD to ask
for a userid and password unless of course you are installing from and
then they ask as part of setting up a new user.  This is your's correct?

Where _exactly_ are you being asked for the UID and password? During the
installation? If so, that is normal; you need to give Ubuntu a user name
and password for the user that you are setting Ubuntu up for during the
installation process. There is no _preset_ username and password, you
are telling Ubuntu "I want to set up this user with this password".

Perhaps these will help:
