Googleing "mephis root password" gives hits that claim the root password is "root".
I had to do this a while back - I have a soft spot for Mephis since they are based in Morgantown WV.

couldn't either... Perhaps it's childproof!
Just like medicine bottles -- or Mepis. I managed to burn
a DVD of that, and what's more, it booted. Then it wanted me to
log in, wither as demo or as root -- with a password. It didn't
mean blank; it didn't mean "password"; it didn't mean the
passwords on my hard drive. It gave no hint what it did mean. And
I never did figure it out.

I have precious (very precious) little idea where up is.
