Without GNOME, you can't edit user/group/time w/out have root access.  
Therefore, it is same as in GNOME, you have to fill out your root password  
to have the access to do the stuff.

As for your sentence, "I was never asked for any password"; it sounds like  
you were login as in root account.

Cheers,
