Do you mean the liveCD or the installed system?

During the setup process, you should have been asked to specify a username and password. That would be your login password.

From your description, it seems that you haven't gone through this process, but are actually using the live CD instead. If so, the login username appears as "ubuntu", and the password is blank, that is, just press Enter or click the log in button without typing any password at all.
