what's the root password?

Hi, It needs password when open Synaptic Package Manager, but raspberry is not valid

You can try to sudo passwd. I did this to get root thought it isn't a good idea.

Why opening an 'issue' instead of RTFM or in this case simply reading the few sentences containing everything relevant: https://github.com/bamarni/pi64#getting-started

No password set, all you need is sudo -s for example (man sudo!)

@ThomasKaiser how do you do that if the Synaptic P M is asking the password ? Sorry for my ignorance in this matter. I'm trying to install a program and I can't get around this.

PS- nevermind. I got it around with AurumNemo trick.

I got it around with AurumNemo trick.
@jmlcatarino What the trick? I've go the same problem

[jmlcatarino]

@PavelAnfimov I don't remember anymore, because I think I just gave up trying. I'm not that good with Linux. But I guess, at the time, I saw some kind of solution from a member with that name, so if you look for post or comments from that member, maybe you get to the answer. :(

I need it too. As was suggested above, I ran "sudo passwd root" and typed in a new password.
