The new VirtualBox machine that I built (sage-4.7 and newer, .ova extension) uses sage as password for both the root and the sage user account.

The sage user is indeed not in the sudoers file, I'll add that in some future release. So you need to su first, or press Alt-F1 to get to a different tty and login as root.

excellent, worked like a charm! except that the command sudo aptitude is not valid for Fedora, but I researched a bit on the internet and used yum install. jamlatino (Jun 20 '11)

On this site, it says that the password is "sagepass", and on this site, it says that it's "woofwoof". Try those, and also try parzan's suggestion "sage".
