well, `sudo su root` would be using the user password for the logged in user, not for root. Does `su root` work, with no password at the prompt?

Good point. Force of habit. Unfortunately I can no longer try since I set the root password under the Directory Utility, which probably changed the state of the system.

Apparently someone verified that it /does/ also work with `su - root`.
