I download FreeBSD LiveCD from http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=55042 and I found the document of the project said that

Firts Boot.

If you did not customize user/group and passwords, the default root account is passwordles. Enjoy ;-)

But when I boot it from the CDROM then I type "root" as the username, for the password, I leave it blank (don't type anything) then press enter key to logon, they it display a message that Incorrect logon. I do it as the documentation said but it is not working. Do you have any idea about that???
