Default root password
After fresh install, i've stupidly removed the check from the "set password" item while I created the admin, now if i try to open a folder like admin , system ask me for the password...how can i solve that?

grats you broke your install
you can try running the command
passwd inside terminal and set a password with that
when you type the password it will not show any characters this is normal
just make sure you type it correctly 2 timesIf i use "psswd" system ask me root password ...my italian's reaction for thas Is :🤌🤌
thats if you use
sudo passwd
if you type passwd it asks for your user password
if you have a user password then you have the root password because the root user is disabled like on any sensible system
you get root permissions with sudo which uses your user password to authenticate
as long as the user is marked as an administrator (is in the wheel group) they can get root permissionsSame thing

Boot into emergency mode and run
passwd dani or whichever the actual username for your user is.Booting to Rescue & Emergency Mode - Bazzite Documentation

Other than that it's reinstall time because you didn't set a password
