Default Root password?

Sorry, I'm new here, just a quick question,
When I finished rooting my hero, is there any way to change the root password?
In linux i'd simply use passwd. but this os doesn't have one.
am I wrong in assuming this isn't needed? the Iphone incident brought it to mind.
thanks,

It's not needed. The only way into the phone is by either having the device physically in hand or via some service, such as SSH. Fortunately there is no SSH server by default and MoDaCo's ROM, which installs one, sets a random password automatically.
