Your login is : linux. 
I am having this exact issue. The live CD boots fine on my Dell laptop (Dell BIOS recognized the bootable CD automatically) but not on my desktop-the problem child(I changed the BIOS to boot from CD). NOTE that I do not get to begin an install. I just see the “live mode”, “fail safe”, “boot from hard disk” etc options, and then once I select one, a green screen as the kernel loads. However, while the kernel is loading, the green graphic disappears and switches into a text-only boot. I get a login prompt as did the original poster, but was never asked to make a log in (as I never reached the install stage).
Tried ‘root’ and ‘linux’ and no PW and got the message “have fun…” and a prompt. Unfortunately, if I can’t do this with a GUI, I am way out of my league. Not actually so fun.
Any suggestions of what log-in it wants? Or why the same CD works perfectly on the Dell but not on this other system?

I’m from Brasil and have not a good english (excuse me!)
I have downloaded openSUSE-KDE4-LiveCD-Build0116-i686.iso.
Booted my PC with the live CD in the drive, choose “try live CD” and now I get a beautiful green screen where I read Username: ] and Password: ].
Any one know these answer?
Please

your english is GREAT…welcome, sorry you are having problems with
your CD…
where did you get that iso from??
i ask, because the one from the community’s official download page
<http://software.opensuse.org/> is named
“openSUSE-11.1-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso”
which you will notice does not include the “Build0116” note in the
title as does the one you downloaded…
and, it also does not require any user name or password to “try live
CD”…
so, you need to find who made the image you have and how they wanted
you to access it…
sorry, i searched both this forum and the wiki for
“Build0116-i686.iso” and had zero hits…so, i can’t help you find
the person who unleased that iso on the public…
maybe you need to begin again, by downloading…and, it is probably
worthwhile to read here, before beginning: http://tinyurl.com/6jwtg9

you need to ask the people who made that .iso, Softpedia…
not this forum, because no one here can know without asking Softpedia…
the download page for THIS community is http://software.opensuse.org/
and (as far as i know) none of our install images require either a
username or password to begin the install process…

I get it from:Index of /distribution/11.2-Milestone2/iso
http://btjunkie.org/torrent/openSUSE-KDE4-LiveCD-Build0116-i686/5027ca02adf83277966736cb8a0bc44710dff6b0eef4

você está querendo testar a próxima versão do openSUSE, devido em
novembro?
essa página não tem nada, mas EXPERIMENTAIS software, certifique-se de
ter bugs e problemas de cargas …
*** usar http://translate.google.com/translate_t# ***
are you wanting to test the next release of openSUSE, due out in
November?
that page has nothing but EXPERIMENTAL software, sure to have BUGS and
loads of problems…
unless you are an experienced Linux and SUSE or openSUSE user who is
ready to log bug reports you should NOT try anything from that page…
you really need to read: http://tinyurl.com/6jwtg9 (be SURE to check
the md4sum of any downloaded iso file)
instead, you should click your way to a torrent on this page:
http://software.opensuse.org/
unless you are an experienced user of Linux, i would suggest, if you
have limited bandwidth, you click:
- 32 Bit PC
- Live CD
- BitTorrent
- Live CD GNOME
- and also, get a copy of the “md5” just below “Live CD GNOME”
and boot it up and run is some BEFORE you click on the install button
(if the Live CD doesn’t run GOOD, but slow, i’d suggest you don’t
install it…)
if bandwidth/speed is no problem then i would highly recommend:
- 32 Bit PC
- DVD
- BitTorrent
- Installation DVD
- and also, get a copy of the “md5” just below “Installation DVD”
and, have fun…

Tried to boot SuSE 11.1 from a Live-CD, eventually got to a login request. Finally, after umpteen tries, I stuck the cd into another computer, to see whether it would load there. While opening it, I clicked on file browser and discovered that it had burned as a data cd, in spite of the fact that I downloaded it with my SuSE 11.0 laptop and specifically instructed Brasero Disc Burner to burn the file as an image. Only luck I’ve had burning image files has been on my XP system using Imgburn.
Wow, guys… doesn’t anyone know how to answer a simple question.
Issue: Booting up a LIVE DVD/CD on a computer… this is supposed to provide a user with the ability to boot up SuSE 11.1 OS and get to take a tour of the system, before you go thru the process of actually installing it on your hard-drive. So, Am I right here? I’ve been doing this for a long time… this is how I understand it.
Problem: When SuSE 11.1 Live CD boots up (from power up… mm.k?) A screen comes up and says: Live-CD User “linux” but it is asking for a PASSWORD. I believe this is the same problem mentioned above but it seems that the people attempting to answer the question are not paying attention to this ISSUE… hmm…
Solution: I need the password so I can tour this version of SuSE 11.1 before I destroy the Ubuntu that is already loaded and running…
Note: Ever since Novel took over SuSE from our wonderful German Engineers, nothing has ever been the same… So sad… I’ve used SuSE since version 4.0-9.0… sigh… let’s here it for capitalism…

A couple of remarks:
Yes, the Live-CD’s are for taking a tour.
Not asked: they offer a icon on the graphic desktop to install on hdd.
NO, you don’t need a password. The fact that you are seeing a console with login prompt is that the X system for some reason cannot start. I can tell from experience ( 12 different systems and laptops yesterday and today) that this usually has one out of two possible causes:
- Corrupted download
- Corrupt media, i.e. md5sum of disk is not that of ISO.
If it doesn’t work, download again, check md5sum, burn, verify, then use media.
Users and passwords are only created during install. Not even root has a password, when the system’s run from a live-CD !!! Try it, open a terminal and do: su. You will not be asked for as password.
On all systems, varying from new to 6 years old, 10 nvidia, 2 intel graphics everything worked.

nice beginning! no, we are not smart enough to answer a simple
question…but, Knurpht has already answered yours…in case you
missed it:
the Live CDs that come from http://software.opensuse.org/ do NOT need
a password to run the system live…
nor do they need a password to install…however, the install script
WILL ask you to establish a user name AND provide THE password for
THAT user…
HOWEVER, there ARE other Live CDs being issued by other folks (lately
the KDE crowd released a cutting edge KDE using openSUSE 11.1 as the
underlying OS…THOSE CDs need a password…
if you are using one from this community then follow Knurpht’s
advice…if not ask them for their password.
