I need to change some files while booted via the linux usb key. (version 17 I think I have )
I press Alt F1 and get a screen for Ubuntu. But I need a login name and password. I tried the default Ubuntu password which I think is ubuntu/ubuntu but this did not work.

I have contacted support but this is spotty, can anybody tell me what this is?

Or is there another way to get at configuration files and edit text in them.

Thanks.
