sudo password is the user's password.
There is no root user by default in OpenIndiana, you can edit /etc/sudoers to enable passwordless sudo

pfexec bash

might also work, should start a root shell (with a # prompt).

thank you,
i have a LIVE CD running. from the terminal
user Jack is there.
when i type su a promt for root password is asked.
because the system is asking for a root password, there must be a root password.

OpenIndiana is a fork from OpenSolaris which is derived from Solaris open source.

So what says:

$ sudo su -

??

Does that give you a root (#) prompt? If not, what happens?
