default passwords

I am a newbie to the Raspberry Pi. I have downloaded Debian 6-19-4-2012 and Raspiwrite and installed the OS on the SD card and installed it in the Raspberry Pi and booted it to the point that it wants a user id and a password to continue. None of the ‘suggested’ UID/Passwprd combinations available on various websites seem to work. Does anyone have a suggestion about a good UID/Pass combo, or what is going on and how to work around it? Some of the documented suggestions seem to be not useful when you are trapped in the UID/PWD loop and cannot get out and back to a command line. In newbie speak HELP!!

On Raspbian's Wheezy, it's definitely

Login: pi
Password: raspberry

as I checked it just now. And from memory, that's what it was on Squeeze too. So if that's not working for you, then it's as John says, your keyboard is to blame and not your typing.

The Pi is a very odd critter, misbehaving silently when the choice of peripherals is not to its liking. Almost always, that misbehaviour stems from the designers' choice to employ USB chargers in lieu of proper power supplies, coupled with the lack of proper power management on-board. Odd things happen.
