There is no installed, nor has there been any SD card with any image. After reboot it has started an installation wizard. This wizard has asked me, (among other things like IP...) to configure a user, and this is correct. Once I finish the installation and restart the IoT2050, I log in successfully with the user that I have configured. But wanting to be 'su', it asks me for a password and the 'root' password doesn't work. Which is root pw?

This installation wizard or first setup is usual behavior with this image. For more information see here. The command su does not work on the Industrial OS. You can use sudo -i or sudo su instead. But that requires your user to have sudo priviledges (to be configured in the first setup). If you haven't configured the user to have sudo priviledges, you can login as root and call mel-setup, that opens the setup again and you can change this setting. The root password is as you set it in the first setup. Best regards!
