I was asked to help out (remotly) with Mac OS X.
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 ?.

Bernardo
