Yes, that's because there are not predefined passwords, when you fall into a login screen in livedvd it's usually because the desktop session failed to autostart. You may access an autologin console (no password required) by pressing CTRL- ALT-F2, there you can look into the /root/.xsession-errors file to see what happend, but I would first make sure that the guest machine has at least 256 MB of RAM, and try even more as a first attempt.
