Unetbootin install, can't login (unknown username)

[jazzist]

Hi,

Just installed lmde on my samsung nc10 via a usb key that i created from the 32bit iso using unetbootin.

Problem is that the os has installed ok and boots but i am presented with a login screen.

I was not given the opportunity to choose usernames and passwords during the installation so don't know what to do now.

Anyone know?

Thanks.

Got it, it had automagically picked up the username and password from the Ubuntu machine I created the key with using unetbootin ... unless I'm going mad and the installer did ask.
