is it perhaps similar to the ubuntu LiveCD? where you don't need a password to use sudo, if it is then try "sudo passwd root"

you could also try "senha" (Portuguese for password, according to babel fish)

thankies, i didn't think of that
BTW: just waiting for it to boot in VMware, cheers

no, neither worked

BTW: i don't really want to study Portuguese just to use a distro or change languages

Off Topic:

thanks for the correct spelling of Portuguese
