Login to the shell as user admin. Then type "su -" and the admin
password to become root. Then type "/usr/bin/passwd root" and supply
a new password for the root user. Now your admin password is
different than root's.

See Scott F's recent message. Scott's correct in stating that the
lines I was referring to are in httpd.conf in more recent RaQs. I've
been working with the blue box since the RaQ1 so I sometimes forget
the differences between each line.
