Update (after comments):
It's always a good rule to check if the download was finished in the proper way.
The iso images are released with a checksum code for this purpose available from the same page of the downloads In this case from here.

Those are the MD5SUM for the relative files

dccff28314d9ae4ed262cfc6f35e5153 *ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso c4d4d037d7d0a05e8f526d18aa25fb5e *ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso 01545fa976c8367b4f0d59169ac4866c *ubuntu-14.04-server-amd64.iso 08d25bf879e353686a974b7b14ae7d81 *ubuntu-14.04-server-i386.iso b31731ea6cdbebe1d02f8193db420886 *wubi.exe

If you downloaded a ready to use ubuntu image for virtualbox usually the passwords are

Active user account(s) (username/password): ubuntu/reverse

If you downloaded from another source you should refer to the download page. Note that you can always install in virtualbox a ready image and after upgrade it

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

or

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

In the past there was some livecd for which the username was ubuntu (or lubuntu...) with no password.

  • It depends from who prepared the iso (aka from where you downloaded). Seldom it asks for a username and password to begin to install (it will be the 1st user you can use to login). Did you refer to this moment?

  • It gives you 2 times a corruption error. Try for 1st to verify you have a NOT corrupted iso. Do the MD5SUM (or another) and make a comparison with the one you find on the same page. If you have no problem to do a new download you can take a pre-made image for virtualbox and after upgrade from inside the virtual machine.

  • Okay i got the solution for my problem, i checked the MD5SUM->not matched. Hence, i downloaded the "utopic-desktop-i386" of ubuntu 14.04 from "cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/utopic-desktop-i386.iso" and its working like a charm. I truly appreciate the time you spent to help me.

At last i solved the real problem i got, i placed the downloaded .iso in my torrent folder and started the bitorrent using this link-> "http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads".

->It was at 99.9%, remaining 0.1% got completed and now its works like a charm.
