Root Password

By default, the root user has no password. This is a serious security risk.
We strongly recommend that you set one now by clicking on the "Set Root
Password.." box. This brings up the window shown below:
Choose a password, according to the directions in the window, and type it
in the "Enter root password" box. Asterisks appear in the box, instead of
what you type. Press . Type your password again in the "Enter
Tab
password again" box, and press . Click OK. If you typed the same
Enter
characters both times, that becomes your root password and the window
closes. If not, you are asked to try again.
Write your password down and keep it in a secure place. If you forget it,
NOTE
you will not be able to log in to your workstation.
