Solaris 10 x86 VM - root can login without a password!?!?!

edited Apr 19, 2016 7:03PM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered ✓

I have a Solaris 10 x86 VM that, when I reach the login screen (GUI), it asks for username. I enter 'root', and it immediately goes to the Desktop.

No password is required.

How can I fix this so that a password is required?

Thanks.

Howdy, Stranger!
