The default password is not "root". The default password is empty.
You can change /etc/inittab so that instead of starting /sbin/getty it
starts /bin/sh. But obviously, doing so that anyone connecting to your
system with a serial port has direct root access.
But generally, this isn't needed: you just start whatever application
you need through /etc/init.d/ scripts, and those applications get
started regardless of whether you logged into the system or not.
Best regards,
Thomas
