What is Default Password?

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi.
I installed suseLinux the other day. I left while it was loading. It completed without asking me for a root password. Now i want to download adobe. The computer tells me I need to enter the root password. But I don’t know it.
What do I do?
Thanks!
David

For some strange reason the installer defaults the root password to be the same as the first user password. There is a check box on the password page that lets you set a different one but if you missed it is the same as the user. You probably want to change that

It defaults to the same password as the user you created in the install.
