Issue
Solution

Issue
I've downloaded Debian LiveCD and upon launching it, it asking me for a root password.

Solution
By default, there is not any root password. You can switch to root with sudo -i or set a
password for root with sudo passwd.
In the case you are requested a user password: The user password for the live user is 'live'.
