re password for root on Adriane

I too am looking and needing this.
So far here is my work-around:

I need root for Adriane mode.
I boot without a cheat code.
Select the Graphical option.
In the graphical option there is a root
terminal in the menu listings.
enter passwd
and enter your password twice

Without rebooting I get back into
Adriane and select shell
su
will ask for your pass word.
It will generate a root terminal
After this ALT F1 and ALT F2 will
switch between Adriane menu and
a root shell.

I expect most users will do this just for
the graphical section. Sorry I am
doing this from memory so ask if
what I say does not make sense.

I hope there is an easier solution
since I hate passwords when they
are not really serving a purpose.

Best Wishes
