root logins not working

[Ameer Armaly]

Hi all.
I've recently reentered my system after a long leave, and I have a problem 
with the system not letting me log in as root.  When I type "root" at the 
lgoin prompt, it spits me back out as if something were wrong with a "login 
incorrect."  When I try to su  to root, it does the same thing, even after I 
type in a correct password.  I've confirmed the password because I can 
bypass init by using init=/bin/bash, and changed the password to nothing but 
a  space; no luck there.
Could someone give me any suggestions?
