What's the default root password in DSLinux, or in any Linux distribution?
I didn't set it.

Should be "uClinux" for DS Linux.

Debian and Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu tend to leave the root password empty (thus disabling the root login). They prefer you to access superuser functions by using sudo in your main user account, or by booting the system into single-user mode.
Under these systems you can always set a root password with:
sudo passwd root

Damn Small Linux comes with two users, these are:
Name | Password
root | toor
dsl | reverse
These are listed on the DSL download page.

welcome to super user! this is different from typical forum sites. you shouldn't refer to other answers as "next answer" or "previous answer"; answer positions might change over time. (you're welcome to add a permalink or refer to so-and-so's answer or similar.) – quack quixote – 2010-03-17T11:02:20.630

The custom is to prefix names with an @ when referencing somebody else's answer or comment, or when responding to someone like in this comment. – intuited – 2010-03-26T17:56:47.233
