@Francois Bonin  Welcome!!!
The password would be what was created during the initial install (if a TimeShift backup/restore) - You can enable auto logon if you don not want to enter a password..
From Menu - Type Lite Auto Login


For boot time - if you haven't yet or in the original image and don't plan on using virtualbox you can disable it... Run each of the 5 commands below separately.


Performance Tips:

- For start up (boot time) - if you have no plans to run VirtualBox, and you want faster boots, you can remove it's supported additions:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt purge virtualbox*
sudo systemctl stop vboxadd.service
sudo systemctl stop vboxadd-service.service
sudo systemctl disable vboxadd.service
sudo systemctl disable vboxadd-service.service

Per the 4.0 release notes: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/release-announcements/linux-lite-4-0-final-released/ (https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/release-announcements/linux-lite-4-0-final-released/)

Also you may find the following Lite Tools valuable -- (Can type Lite from the Menu for all)
Lite Tweaks
Lite Software




If by chance you are using a Live environment (downloaded ISO on USB/CD) and not yet installed, login is automatic unless a laptop has gone to sleep, the the ID is linux with no (blank) password.

Thanks for your answer , but it dit not help , actually i think there is something in grub , that is asking for this logging  with a time limitation , after 15 sec it just disappear , and the system finish booting normally.
