OpenSolaris uses RBAC and root is set as an RBAC role. This means you
cannot remote login as root and is more secure. The jack/jack default
user allows you to login after the install and switch to root and the
switch user to root is logged. You can then disable root as a role if
you wish and add a custom login. It would be a good idea to remove the
jack login after you create a custom one or change the jack password.
Use the following to remove RBAC Role from the root login.
"rolemod -K type=normal root"
The "jack" account also has RBAC attributes and can issue root commands
if you prefix with "pfexec", similar to "sudo".

Did you already try going to google.com and typing in the following words:
opensolaris root password

It's been a while since I've done this, so I might be wrong, but I believe
OpenSolaris 2009.06 CD has this default regular user:
username: jack
password: jack
and the root password is: opensolaris
During the installation process it usually asks you to create a new user with a user name and a
password. I recommend not making the user you create during the installation "jack" with
a password of "jack" as your machine will probably get hacked a few hours after you
enable ssh if you use a default user-name and password like that.
