I seriously doubt that Novell/SuSE tech support will be able to help  
you with that.  I wasn't able to find any evidence of documentation  
for the player packages either on vmware's or novell's web site.

I did some further web searching, and a couple people suggested a  
root/password of root/(blank) root/vmware and vmware/vmware.

It might be better if you log in via single user (I'm not sure if the  
SuSE installation will let you, without a password) and set the  
password manually.
