I downloaded the Live USB stick image, booted from USB, pressed Ctrl+Alt-F1 and got the console screen "login:". Now, what is the default password for "root" user? I need to load some kernel modules and mount some filesystems before installing.

The root account is locked by default. Use sudo . help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

Try user ubuntu without password(with empty password).
As @Panther said, root account is disabled.
If its not ubuntu but lubuntu or xubuntu try distributive name as user login.
Another way, if you run graphical environment press Alt+F2, and run xterm. It will not ask for login. Then su and do what you want.
