Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
The crash is coming straight from aptkit (a native Linux Mint/Ubuntu internal package management tool), which is throwing an unhandled programming exception. When background tools like aptkit or automatic update daemons crash in a live VirtualBox session, they lock up the session's package database and authentication sockets. That is precisely why the installer fails and why your password isn't being accepted—the underlying system authentication and package layer are stuck in an error loop.
This is a known quirk of how Mint's live environment interacts with VirtualBox when network services or automatic mirror checks kick in right at boot.
