Re: Live USB login failure
Hi YDDDA, and welcome to the forum.
Are you certain you didn't boot into an installed OS? I'm pretty sure the Live disks don't have a login, at least until the screensaver kicks in. And when that happens, it should be as you posted for user/pass.
Could it be a keyboard/layout issue?

Re: Live USB login failure
Thanks for the response.
I'm sure I'm not trying to login into an installed OS as this is a new PC.
I'll try changing the keyboard, that's easy enough; however the keyboard is perfect in all other uses.
BTW, I've flashed to 3 USBs, all of which were new and two of which worked on other PCs

Thanks for response.
I am typing it correctly, as you've laid out.
I've successfully installed mint on an old laptop and used it for a month.
This problem seems to be isolated to this other computer.
