macosx has the same locked root as ubuntu
to enable root, log in as an user with admin privileges.
then open a shell
sudu bash
put in your password
youll then be in a bash shell as root,
you can then go
passwd
change your root password.
then you can 'su' to root.
This is the hard way to do it. Instead, in OS-X, launch NetInfo

"Security" menu. One of the selections allows you to unlock the root
account & set its password.
