Believe you can enter "sudo-s" in the terminal opening a shell as root. Enter your own login pw. "sudo" keeps a log for you of what you are doing- leaving a trail. "su" does not keep the log and also does bring some of your config and env. variables with you.
Now you can change the pw for the root user. Enter "passwd root" then your choice of pw.
No warranties implied.
