Live Login doesn't work

I have been trying Zorin 5 lite on a usb for a couple weeks and was going to install it tomorrow. For some reason, when I tried to boot it today, it asked for a username and password, which it never has before.

I tried using "live" as username, and nothing in the password block, but it won't login. It just goes back to the login screen.
How can I log in? Is this a common problem I will have to deal with if I install on my hd?

Try "root" as username and no password (without the quotes).

Tried root also. I just went ahead and re-installed the OS on the USB key.

Sometimes the nick is "root" and the pass is "toor".

In any case it was best for your to re-install the OS on the USB key, because personnaly I was never asked to give a pass on a Live CD.
