Root password

Well, really that's not a bad thing, but you can change password expiration either through Scoadmin->Account Manager
or from the command line.
From account Manager, highlight root, and then choose User->Password Controls. Choos Expiration and set it as you like, including Infinite.
From the command line, simply do
passwd -x 0 root
to have it never expire, or pick a number you like.
passwd -s root
will list the current attributes; the last number you see is the expiration time.
