You mean the root pw on the server is schanged?
No. The install client calls fai-chboot on the server, which disables
the PXE config, so the next time the client boots from local
disk.
The script scripts/DEBIAN/10-rootpw set the root pw on the install
client via $ROOTPW which is defined in
class/FAIBASE.var: ROOTPW='$1$kBnWcO.E$djxB128U7dMkrltJHPf6d1'
