Did you ran apt upgrade ? This can break the system because it does a partial upgrade. Parrot is a rolling distro so to update you need to run sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade.

Hum no this not true, when you install the system it asks you for a root password , if you entered one then it obviously become your root password not toor , if you leave it blank the account is disabled and you cant login with it.
