Then "passwd" enter roots new password twice.

Then when you need it just type it in.

A lot of CD releases you have to "sudo" to do root stuff. e.g. "sudo
fdisk -l"

Yes, I know all that; I must just have been too lazy to type it; but I was trying to ask what the password *is* -- none of my guesses ([none], root, toor, fedora, arodef) worked. And if it was in the readme, I missed it.

I have no idea what the password is, but I think you are missing what people are telling you, what you want to do is "sudo su -" to actually become root, and if you really need to set the root password you can.
