If you change admin's password, the root password will automagically
be changed as well - to the same password that admin has.
To give root a different password (a good idea!), log in via
telnet/SSH as admin. Then su to root:
#su -
(type admin's password)
Type the command to change passwords:
#passwd
Type root's new password and hit enter. Do it again.
You're done! WRITE IT DOWN!!!
If you ever forget root's password, just go into the GUI and change
admin's password - root's password will again get switched to the
same as admin's and you can start all over.
