If you have not set one, you don't have one.
This is pretty basic Linux stuff.
sudo passwd me

Then add the following to /opt/.filetool.lst
etc/passwd
etc/shadow
etc/group
etc/gpasswd

then
backup

You would think that anyone who has access to the boot codes has access to breach any security on the machine, no...?

I run off a usb drive.

I'd like to ensure (as much as possible) that if I lose my flash drive, that my data is not compromised.

And yes,  big brother has been with us for a while.
