press Enter to leave it unchanged. Re-enter the new password when prompted.
Use the following rules when specifying a new root password:
• Password must have at least 8 characters.
• Password must contain at least two alphabetic characters and at least one
numeric or special character. In this case, "alphabetic" refers to all upper or
lower case letters.
• Password must differ from the user's login name (root) and any reverse or
circular shift of that login name.

Note: For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to change root password
from it’s default value. Make a note of the new password you enter and keep it in a
secure location for future reference.
