there is no root password. use 'sudo su' to get a root shell, set your own root password. blah.
In other words:

sudo passwd

and type in your new root password here.
how can i say to DSL that **** is my new password? In other words, what is the exact command i have to type? :p
Open an xterminal window and type:

passwd              (to set password for username "dsl")

or

sudo passwd      (to set password for username "root")
