DSL Tips and Tricks :: Root password for live CD

Can I get the root password for the LIVE CD version
also for the embedded version

there's no password.

You can become root with the command "sudo su".
You can use root power for a single program with "sudo <program>".
You can create a password with the "passwd" command.
You can be prompted to create a password when you boot by using the "secure" boot option.
You can keep your current password persistent by backing up /etc/shadow.

Where do I enter the command "sudo su"?

that would be the first command at the prompt in a terminal. You will see the prompt change to indicate that you are root.
