TAILS New Edition is Pretty Good

 TAILS New Edition is lookes pretty good on BOX utility but it does not boot from a USB. I cannot use and it is meant as a DVD image.

Tails does not have a default root or administration password for the live session; it is intentionally disabled for security.
 
To obtain root access (e.g., for installing software), you must set a temporary password during the boot menu under 
"More options" > "Administration Password". 
This password only lasts for the current session. 

Key Details regarding Tails Passwords:

    No Default Password: 
There is no pre-set password for the root user.
    Setting the Password: At the welcome screen, click the "+" button, select "Administration Password," and enter a password of your choice.
    Session Specific: 
This password is not saved and must be re-created every time you boot Tails.
    Persistent Storage: 
If you are asking about the password to unlock encrypted persistent storage, that is a password you created when setting up the persistent volume.
