did you follow the install guide? at one point it tells you to change the root password witht he command
Code:
passwd

then the login name is root and the pass you set. you should have also followed the instructions and created a user account whilst installing.
if you didn't change the pass or create an account then the root pass is scambled for security. try searching the forums. or look here
