passwd root

[ Except maybe ]
	Various things get crippled now, in the name of avoiding
	`shooting self in the foot' accidents by neophytes. So maybe
	if you're running at a higher kernel security level you
	might need to turn that off.  Don't know how though, I never
	cripple my root access. (& similarly hate eg fdisk -a being
	similarly crippled by sysctl, in the same name of neophyte
	foot shooting prevention )
