Because it's the root password!

But it doesn't matter, as already pointed out in this thread you do not need to know the password if you are not clever enough to guess it.

i don't get why you with hold the root password, people need it to know how to access root on dsl, it's dumb to not just tell us, if it's so much a security risk, then having a simple one is a security risk too, it's just plain dumb to with hold it from us like this.
