Greetings, my first try with Linux Mint and my first post here..
Anyone knows "root" default password for Linux Mint? I've been installed it on VMWare and I need root pass to install VMWare tools...
Thx a lot!

Well.. there is a root account, and it's not disabled. The password for it is simply unknown.. (I can't remember if it's random, or simply some hardcoded gibberish stuff defined in the casper-bottom scripts).. but anyway.
Your default account can run anything as root by typing "sudo" in front of the command, so you can perfectly give root a new password... all you have to do is :
sudo passwd root
Et voila.
