The proper answer here is "there isn't a root password, root is a role"

Yes, root is a role, meaning you can't log in directly. But it still has a password, which you must provide when you assume the root role (after logging in to an account that is authorized to assume the root role).

You can also use the root password to enter single-user mode: Append -s to the boot line, when prompted enter root as the user name, followed by the root password.
