this is a diablo root hijack but...

I realize there is easyroot or becomeroot if I want to install them to gain root access, but this is bugging me that after the upgrade nobody knows the default sudo root password.

On chinook, you could set it and i chose rootme, but now nothing works and it seems like nobody has a clue on how to reset this. I'd just like to know if someone has figured out the password or can give me steps to reset it (even if that means temporarily installing easyroot or becomeroot
