I am being asked about the root password as I am directly logging through by plugging a keyboard and monitor to it. I do not recall to give any username and password. However, it is possible that the system may have previously had a ESXi installed on it and it is using a previous credentials. If that is the case, then I will try to capture the old credential from people around here and will inform you about my progress but if that is not the case, then as one of you mentioned, I will try to recover the password from Linux Live media CD by editing the shadow file. Thanks all for your quick reply. I will keep you informed about my progress.
