There is no default account / password in Debian. If no password was provided, no root account is enabled and the password of the first user created will be used for administration tasks. Therefore you should log using the user you have created during the installation setup.
To answer the literal question: no, there is no default password. Usually by default an account will have an "invalid" password, that is, a password hash that will not be matched by any password at all.
If you haven't set a root password while installing Debian 9 Stretch, then root password by default won't be set. But sudo should be configured for your ordinary user.
Although this is an old question, I had the same question when using the Standard console version. The answer can be found in the Debian Live manual under the section 10.1 Customizing the live user. It says:
It is also possible to change the default username "user" and the default password "live".
I tried the username user and password live and it did work. If you want to run commands as root you can preface each command with sudo

I am using Debian 8 live off a USB. I was locked out of the system after 10 min of inactivity. The password that was required to log back in to the system for the user was:
login : Debian Live User password : live I hope this helps
