Hit him, perhaps he responds then :-) No Serious, it could mean a lot of things, did you try just entering from the login prompt? Login: root Password: <Hit enter here> You might accidently changed it, someone might have changed it, it was unset, you were toying with vipw, and dozens options more ;-) Perhaps you should boot into single user mode, remount the / (readwrite) and use passwd root BTW: Where are you seeing this message? Remote ROOT logins are denied by default..
