Is it possible to extract the root password from the file system?

[Lisa Kachold]

There are alot of password files and dictionary lists on various sites.
Backtrack5 contains a good number.

But I imagine that it's either not allowing root via ssh or you have the
wrong username.

Or it's a truely random string.
