[cod] COD4 on Virtual Machines?

[Lars Vik]

Hey Dallas,

I downloaded your VM and were up and running in no time! Thanks!

Anyway, I need root privilegies, so I scanned the documentation you 
provided with the VM, but have been unable to find the password... So if 
you can tell me where to find it, I'd be very happy!

Lars
