Its randomly created by the livecd. Just shut down the ps3 put the livecd in it. Boot it up, at the livecd prompt type passwd. Then put what you want. Type reboot and take out the disk. Should be good to go.

You should have followed the instructions then..Bummer.

Go do this first at the livecd prompt:

swapon /dev/sda2
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo/ /bin/bash
env-update && source /etc/profile
passwd
exit
cd /mnt
umount gentoo/proc/ gentoo/dev/ gentoo/
reboot

And please follow the instructions ffs!
