So, since you cannot clone a larger partition onto a smaller partition, the only thing you could do is to first reduce the size of your source partition to a size smaller or equal to that of your target partition with something like gparted which is aware of the filesystem specifics, such that you do not lose data. What do you expect? Should some blocks just be dropped? Which ones? And how should dd know? Of course, you could use dd's bs= and count= options to only copy the first so-and-so-many blocks of your source partition such that it fits onto your target partition, but you will end up with a broken partition. The reason is simple: your source partition is bigger than your target partition. (But do read on, your problem can be solved yet.)
Once again: You cannot clone a larger partition onto a smaller partition. The exact options to use depend on your particular use case, but to simply copy all the files the following should do: rsync -av /mount/point/of/large/partition/ /mount/point/of/small/partition However, if the files that are on the larger partition would also fit on the smaller partition, you could use rsync to copy those files.

There is no root password, so if you need root privileges, login as "user", then run "sudo" to get root privileges. GParted live is based on Debian live, and the default account is "user", with password "live".
