Pre-configured SD-card fro Raspberry Pi, any idea of root password?

Hi there,

I read somewhere that the user name and password was pi/raspberry and so managed to get access to the card, expanded its memory to the full card .. even ran startx and engaged a desktop ...

However, no matter what I try, I cannot guess the password for root ... it must be standard on the image that is preinstalled on the CD card, but what is it?

Thanks,
Dave

From the pi user command line type in

sudo passwd root

and it will prompt you to set the root password to anything you like. Actually I'm pretty sure that just

sudo passwd

will work also
