You set the sudo password when you first configured the Steam Deck. If you forgot it, you might need to reset the device.

Just reinstall SteamOS.

If you set up your deck yourself, you should have chosen the password. Try to remember the steps you took initially.

There's no default sudo password for the Steam Deck. If you didn't set one, you might need to reinstall SteamOS to regain access.

I had the same issue! Unfortunately, there's no way to recover it directly. Best bet is to reset the device.
