Use /sbin/grub-md5-crypt to create a password hash. Then, in your ks file add a line like this...
rootpw --iscrypted \$1\$vLOQS9GY\$HDQlZbYtdQ0/LT3RKxjD80
(where all the crazy text is the result of running grub-md5-crypt).

Subject: [Fedora-livecd-list] Password for fedora livecd
Hello all,
I added/removed some packages & created a fedora customized livecd using by the livecd-fedora-9-desktop.ks and livecd-fedora-9-base.ks files.
When I am trying to access the system settings or any superuser's applications, its asking root password. I did not set any root password in the .ks file and I tried "root","", "fedora" & "toor" also. But no use. Somebody already posted the same query in this mailing list. But I did not find any proper reply for that query. Help me to disable the root password or how to reset the root password by editing my customized .iso.
Regards,
Prakash.
