So don't use sudo, it's only there to protect novices. Advanced users
can ignore it and su - root.
Do the following one time after you login as <userid>:
$ sudo passwd
Password: <--- enter your userid password
Enter new UNIX password: <--- enter your new root password
Retype new UNIX password: <--- repeat new root password
Piece of cake.
