Every time fabric runs, it asks for root password, can it be sent along same for automated proposes.

A:
fab -h will show you all the options, you can also read them here.
In particular, and I quote,
-p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD
Sets env.password to the given string; it will then be used as the default password when making SSH connections or calling the sudo program.

Getting an accept without an upvote always makes me smile -- it's not about the rep, but what does it mean to say (via accept) "this is the answer that solved my problem" and at the same time _not_ say (via upvote) "this is a good answer"?!-)

I know you've asked about password but wouldn't it better to configure the system so that you can doing fabric (i.e. SSH) without password?
For this, on local machine do:
ssh-keygenand agree with all defaults (if you have no reasons do otherwise)cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.puband copy that key
On remote machine:
mkdir ~/.ssh && chmod 600 ~/.sshtouch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 && chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2- Paste copied key into
authorized_keys2
From now your remote machine “trusts” your local machine and allows logging it in without password. Handy.
