Actually, TEMPORARILY since I just set this machine up, I have the same
password for my root password as I do for my user account because this
machine isn't really accessible to the Internet. It has a 10.0.0.x
address. So, security as far as passwords wasn't a problem.
Soo.. yeah, I've technically tried the root password :)
