There is no "default" password. You will need to boot up from an OS X installer CD, and use the password changing utility in the Installer menu.

The CD is the way to go, since there is greater then 0 chance that your co-worker didn't have root enabled in the first place.

First try to look at every single thing: is the caps key pressed, is some key locked, maybe because loaning on it or something is in your keyboard. Type it carefully again and if that doesn't help, see above
