OEL 6.1 -- How to set root password?

mbobakOct 4 2011 — edited Oct 7 2011

Hi all,

Maybe it's a silly question, but I'm new to OEL, and this 6.1 install is the first time I've installed OEL.

Everything seemed to go perfectly smoothly, but the installer never prompted me to enter a root password, and now I've got a system that boots to a login prompt, but I have no idea what userid/password to use to login. Is there a default root password?

Help!

Thanks,

-Mark
