This is not an accurate answer.
If you are booting into a live environment, the default password is "toor", without the quotes.
If you have installed Kali on your hard disk, then the root password is whatever you set it to be during installation. If you have forgotten your installation password, then you can either re-install, or recover using a live-cd.
