It's asking you for username as well as password? Something like this,
I've usually seen it ask for just the root password.

I can think of a couple things to try. One would be to enter the
username, root, along with the root password. Otherwise, if your regular
account doesn't have a password, you might try entering that account's
name without one. Other than that, I'm not entirely sure.
