I'm sorry to hear you've run into this issue. A google for:
debian 8 live-cd username password
produced the following top result:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30842216/debian-8-live-cd-what-is-the-standard-login-and-password
So username=user and password=live.
Ubuntu has the identical behaviour of needing a password when the
screensaver comes up on the live-cd, but their username is ubuntu and
their password is blank.

Nice reference! Are you referring to The Castle? If so, I hope you
will find that there are a number of Olga-type characters within the
community who will help you on your quest ;-)
Kind regards,
Nicholas
