As I asked for the root passwd, the user (former Win, complete newbie with Mac, very basic computer user) told that he didnīt know and that he had never asigned any password (user or root) at all. Tried to su without password (just pressing Enter), but systems wants password. Is there a default (preconfigured) root passwd for new Mac OS X machines , or any simple (that can be executed remotely or that this user could manage to follow on phone instructions) way to assign a new one ?.
