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 )
