I previously installed this and noted the password for su was empty. Today I installed it again from the store and the password seems to be set to something out of the box. I have tried resetting the app, but I have still not been able to access root. /etc/passwd shows that both root and my user account have passwords set, though I was never prompted for either

This is because of a change in the upstream image now you need to use wsl tools to change the password of root wsl.exe --distribution Alpine --user root.
