default root password

sengsational
What's the default root password after v7 install?  I'm ashamed to admit that I've never gone to the shell interface...only the web interface.  Maybe I should "never" need to get on there, but I've seen a few post about things you can't do or see through the web UI.

    it's blank... when one logs into the box as root, it prompts you to change the password immediately.

    Thanks for the answer and your patience (!).  I think when I tried to log in before, I used "admin" instead of "root" (not a unix guy by birth).

    I believe if you run the configuration wizard (which you can cancel) the first time the system boots up, it forces you set the passwords.  In Version 6, you couldn't opt out, you had to set them at first startup.  A lot of people don't set them... although they should.

    Oh, make sure you reset the loginuser password too... it should not be blank.
