Where did you get this disk?

No password is needed to run a Mint disk.

Did you check the disk to make sure all the #'s matched? Never had a MInt CD ask for a password

thanks for fast response.. I downloaded it from LinuxMint download site, and yes, all numbers matched in the MD5 checksum.. Since then I tossed it in the trash.. Trying once again to Install mint 10kde... It installs great, then when I reboot, it finds NO boot loader. can you help me with this? The Live part works great, but after install it won't boot. won't show any screen...

There's no Mint 10 Kde edition around.
Please check your source again.
