HD Install :: root password help

hi,iam running dsl 1.4 in vmware,and seems to be working great.i tried logging into root via su,but dont know the password.can anyone help?thanks

I am not sure what the deal with a root password is. If someone could enlighten me I would be gratefull. But I know you can log into root by typing 'sudo su', the password is not required.

There is no password until you set one. Do as adssse says to become root. At this point you can enter the "passwd" command to set a root password.

thanks ill try it out

What password should I use to ftp into a dsl system?

I tried using passwd to set the root/dsl password to something I knew, but that didn't work for ftp access.

Any ideas?
