How do you find the minimum rotational period of a star whose density is given?

I need to have a formula or an equation which i can solve to find the rotational period

Only the density is given..no other values are provided

The minimum period will correspond to a value where the gravitational force at the surface equals the centripidel force. Any faster rotation and it would fly apart. You may find out that the size (radius) cancels out in the equations.
