Installing the ssh server and being able to get to the login/password stage on the PC running a live session was no problem.
The user name is presumably ‘ubuntu-mate’, but what is the password?
Hi @lovingboth,
I didn’t try ssh but did confirm the password is blank. I don’t think sshd likes that so run passwd, hit return for old and give it a new one.
Also, passwd root works - it doesn’t even ask for the old one.
Hope this does it.

The password is blank by default for a live session, but SSH won’t work because you cannot login (for security reasons) with a blank password.
You can set a password as @Bill_MI suggested, or add PermitEmptyPasswords yes to the configuration file: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo echo "PermitEmptyPasswords yes" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo service sshd restart
