Hi all, I'm very new to DSL (I just booted from the live CD for the first time about half an hour ago).

I want to SSH in, but I can't really figure out how to do it.  I'm working over a local network.  Here's how far I've made it:

I enabled the SSH server on the DSL box.  I went over to my windows machine, I opened up PuTTy, I selected the SSH protocal, and entered the IP 192.168.1.5 (the correct IP) and PuTTy then gives me the line "login as:" and I type "root" and hit enter.  PuTTy gives me a line that says "root@192.168.1.5's password:".  This is where I loose it.  I have never set any sort of password on DSL and I don't know how.

What do i do?

If you boot from liveCD using the boot option secure will prompt you for passwords.
If you are already running DSL then at a shell prompt type:
$ sudo passwd
