Agreed that having a way to test is a good idea.  Personally, I have vm
setup in virt-manager locally that points directly to where the iso
image gets created.  So it's a simple matter of just starting that vm.  

As for setting the root password, you shouldn't have to do this unless
you're facing a problem with the image booting.  The image should boot
directly to an installation TUI that doesn't require a password.  The
TUI has you set and admin password for future configuration, but you
shouldn't need the root password unless there is a problem.
