I’ve figured out why this is. There are two potential scenarios here.

(1) You are not a geek, and don’t even know what a root password is. In that case, you’re not getting my root password, because you could do untold damage with it. In untrained hands, it’s a deadly weapon.

(2) You are a geek, and know exactly what a root password is. In that case, you’re not getting my root password, because you could do untold damage with it. In trained hands, it’s a deadly weapon.

See the problem? No root password for you, I’m afraid.
