[8.201][INFO] ISO installation and root password

RFCat_vk_01
Hi,
using the same CD I have installed the 8.201 ISO latest build I could find on 2 different hardware platforms and each time I have not been able to login to the console after the automatic reboot.

To use the console I had to wait until I had finished basic webadmin setup so I could change the loginuser and root passwords.

Prior to this ISO the passwords were default blank.

    So (addressing trollvotel here)... is there some randomly chosen password that is set now?  What is the new procedure for system recovery when an admin (or, more likely, a new admin with no access to the passwords) needs to regain control of a system?  In the "old days" we would just do a reinstall from ISO, import the backup, then log in via console and use the reset password function (or cc) to reset the webadmin password -- the old root and loginuser passwords were not saved with the backup file back then, apparently they are now.
