That sounds as if you're in the Userconfig command line
which means you must have typed "-c" instead of "-s"
when booting your system..
"-c" -> Userconfig
"-s" -> single boot

Try it again this time with "-s" at the boot prompt and then
once you get to the shell prompt, type "passwd root" to
change root's password..
