Background

It is possible for users to initially log into the system as `root` and possibly miss updating the `simp` user password.

I would like to propose that we move to providing a static `simp` user password from the ISO and randomizing the `root` password.

This would force the issue of updating the `root` password as well as the `simp` password with no possibility of failing to change either password at initial install.
