Oh, the password isn't hard. It is 'a' - without the quotes.
Should have kept the quotes. Even w/ your in-laws or "non-technical" people, root should always be difficult to guess and never told to anyone. If you're going to work around security like that, install an OS that runs as Admin all the time.....
I could do that with openSUSE too. No one's stopping me from running as root.
There are easier fish to fry on the block. When I took my laptop there, KNetworkmanager found at least three open wifi networks to connect with - two called NETGEAR and one called LINKSYS.
And this surprises you because?
No, I was just making a point. I often get inadvertently connected to either ATLANTIS or NETGEAR at my house.
I also use simple admin passwords on some of the systems that I set up, none of those systems are for anything critical, if they were, I'd use a good password.
Bingo - for my sites I was using !Stda55alle5 or b!sszumb1tterenende or something like that.
