Just installed Fedora Core 8. No root password ???

I just installed Fedora Core 8. All went well. After the 1st reboot I
was prompted by "last stage" setup which included setting up the first
"normal" user (i.e. no administrative privileges).

I logged in with that account without any problem. However, when I
arrived to my first task in configuring something in the system, I was
prompted for the 'root' password.

Problem is... I never entered any root password. The installation went
almost completely unattended, so Fedora may have prompted for such
password then timed out with some default?

Anyway, my question is: How do I find out what that "default" root
password it? (it is not that first normal user's password - I already
tried that).

Thanks,
Sweng
