You can verify this by trying to log in as root to see if it works. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how to re-disable the root login, but a bit of googling would most likely turn it up.

I actually filed a bug report on this, as once you've used passwd to set the root password, then you cannot disable the account using NetInfo. I think I manually modified /etc/passwd to set root's password to * in order to disable the root login.
