is there any way to find out the user id and password on a linux pc or live cd without actually logging in?

i recently customised a live cd from a linux distro.

i installed it on my pc.

on the distro web-page it lists a password for root.

i thought i had left that as the default because the software wouldnt let me create a second account.

however somehow i must have changed the password. so now the user id and password wont work.

any idea how to find out so i can log back in?

Computer Virus- Live CD?

I have a computer that has a virus/adware/spyware on it. The computer has Windows XP on it. The virus has basically infected the windows registry, so, because I am not an advanced user, I don’t know how to remove the virus in Windows.

Is there any live CD Linux distrobutrion that has a virus scanner that can update from the internet and fix the viruses?
I tried AVG, but it won’t let the user log in. I CAN use Windows, but the processes that start up won’t allow the virus/adware/spyware scanners to delete the problem. I have already tried Spybot S&D and Ad-aware. The viruses also apparently made Norton unusuable, for it will not start up. It says that I have to reinstall, but I don’t have any of the origional CDs, including the Norton and Windows.
