I just created a Kali 1.0.6 live USB using a tool called "Mac Linux USB Loader" and everything seems fine up until the point where you are supposed to login.
At the login screen I'm greeted with the choice of user "Other" where I have to manually enter at username and password.
The problem is that I have not created a user or set any password, and "root" as user and "toor" as password doesn't work.
EDIT
I reinstalled Kali and got it working, I did it like this:
- My friend installed Kali on his USB-drive, using normal install process inside his Linux OS
- We plugged his USB into my Macbook and booted from it
- I plugged in my USB which I wanted Kali Live on
- Using my friend's Kali Live (that we booted into) we opened the terminal and used a command called "dd" which copies everything from one location to another. Done!
Super User's purpose is to create a knowledgebase, and it relies on a structure that questions are questions and answers are answers. A question that contains its own answer prevents the normal site usage mechanisms from working (e.g., there is no way for search for or handle your solution as an answer). So that others can benefit from your solution, could you move your edit to an answer (you're allowed to answer your own question)? Then accepting your answer will flag that it has been solved.

You should have specified a password when you installed the system. – Matthew Williams – 2014-03-23T21:03:29.413
@MatthewWilliams Perhaps I should, but there really was no installation since it's a live USB. – Axel Kennedal – 2014-03-23T21:13:11.040
When you say you have tried default. Did you select "other" and put "root" and "toor"? – Matthew Williams – 2014-03-23T21:18:19.227
A small detail: is it a Persistent Live USB? – Sopalajo de Arrierez – 2014-03-23T21:41:25.070
@MatthewWilliams Yes. – Axel Kennedal – 2014-03-24T10:51:44.727
