Today I tried to get Live Kali Linux working off a USB stick. When I got to the login screen, I tried entering root as the username and toor as the password like always, but the login failed. I am out of ideas, since the official Kali site still says those should be the correct login credentials.

Plug the USB into the computer, choose "Legacy Mode" from BIOS boot screen (because if I choose UEFI, then even if USB boot is enabled, it says usb boot is disabled in uefi settings). When the grub screen comes up, I can choose either kali or "advanced options". There is no option for installation.

Description: After switching to Kali Linux KDE desktop from XFCE, the SDDM login screen freezes after entering the password or freezes on a black screen. Additionally, the login screen shows an "unknown user" instead of the actual user name that was used on XFCE. This issue appears to be caused by the fact that the original user had a four-digit PIN password when using XFCE, while Plasma requires passwords to be at least five characters long and include letters and numbers.

Actual Results:
The SDDM login screen freezes after entering the password or freezes on a black screen. The login screen shows an "unknown user" instead of the actual user name that was used on XFCE.

If you are still facing the same problem, feel free to re-open the ticket. If you choose to do this, could you provide more information to the issue you are facing, and also give information about your setup?

One of the first things that you should do when you first start up Kali Linux is to change your systems default root password. Assuming that this is a fresh image, the systems password will be set to 'kali'
