Looks like I was wrong:

Apparently other's have had the problem with the Ubuntu issued LiveCD as
well.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+%2Bdaily+build+%2Bpassword
and
https://shipit.ubuntu.com/login
I wonder if the shipit CD's require your login info to run the CD/DVD?

Still makes no sense. Downloaded LiveCD and Alternate CD's (8.04.1)
requires no password. I'm downloading the DVD now and will report back
on that in 12 or more hours :-) after the download finishes. I've set
the download speed to 900Kbps so that it doesn't swamp my little DSL
line during the download.
