Is the root password you are refering to for MySQL?

If so, I think having no password for MySQL is a very big security hazard (specially on Windows systems). But don't take my word for it, just run a search on MySQL security tips and you'll see that setting a good password for MySQL root is at the top of the list.

We have here a few sites that are using the same LAMS instance for several integration sites. For instance, if you try our LAMS/.LRN integration demo server, you will see that it uses the same LAMS instance as the LAMS/Moodle one.

A LAMS server can handle one or many integrations plus work as standalone LAMS as well.

As long as each external system (Moodle, Sakai, Blackboard, WebCT, .LRN, etc) has its own LAMS Organization (see here for further details).
