I succesfully install Trisquel 6.0, but what's ROOT password? The installer don't ask about it. I set only my normal user password.

Ok, thanks, I guess, I type:
$ sudo passwd root
and set password for ROOT :-)

Like Ubuntu, Trisquel does not have, in its default configuration, a root user. A user with administrative privileges (such as the user created during the installation) is supposed to perform the administrative tasks using 'sudo'. The command you executed "created" the root user if you wish. Nothing wrong with it.
