What? Every Linux (and UNIX) system I've ever used has had a root password, including Fedora. In fact, Anaconda asks you to set one up at installation. Or did you mean something else?
It's pretty common for baked cloud images and VMs to be provisioned with no explicit root password set.
I'm aware of that. I raised a metaphorical eyebrow at the idea that this was default behaviour, especially in the context of desktop systems. I'd be surprised if the OP didn't have a root password.
