On my systems, root password is set during the install.  There is no default. 

CentOS points to the RHEL password recovery procedure here:
https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/recover-root-passwd
We’ve all inherited systems we didn’t have any part of building. If you are a systems administrator, the day will come when you need to work on a system and don’t have the root password for any number of reasons—and statistically speaking, that day will come at the worst possible moment: you need access to that box *right now*.
www.redhat.com
I have not done this exact procedure, but would expect it to work for CentOS7 based pS systems.

Good luck.

Hello All

Happy New Year.

Anyone aware of default password for root, and how to reset or retrieve the root password.

Thanks
Kunal
