Does the root user on the CentOS 5 live CD have a password? If so, which?
See this: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2007-July/014021.html
Thanks for the link - I had only searched this list for the answer, not the announce list :-(
For someone else making this mistake the answer is 12qwaszx the first two characters in each row on the keyboard (unless you have a German keyboard).
But the real question is, why is there a root passwd in the first place?
I spent 2 hrs with google yesterday trying to find the answer to this question myself and the only way I found it was to ask on IRC (Thank you gh0st). Obviously, I too did not know the correct question to ask google. :-)
Could it be posted somewhere more prominent?
Just curious.
