Set a Password on Lubuntu
Solved
Hello, I'm using a persistent live USB of Lubuntu, but as soon as I boot up, I find myself in a "Live Session User" session.
So I would like to know if it's possible to set a password at the startup of Lubuntu.
Thank you in advance, best regards.

Make sure your live USB is actually persistent:
http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/live_usb#mode_non-persistant_ou_persistant
For example with unetbootin:
http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/unetbootin
... you can refer to:
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/diskimg/readme.txt
Then to create a password (or rather a login/password pair) you can use the commandadduser
from a terminal:
http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/terminal
sudo adduser toto

It's a matter of choice if you want to prevent someone from accessing the system without knowing a password.
Normally, this behavior is configured in your display manager (lightdm, kdm, gdm, xdm, etc. there are several and I don't know which one you're using but probably lightdm).
http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/fenetre_de_connexion
In this case, you should be able to set it up like this:
http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/lightdm#connexion_automatique
Feel free to consult the Ubuntu documentation, which will probably provide many answers to your question, and if necessary, you can always come back here to ask for clarification.
Good luck
