Root password problem


Hi,

I just receive news from my superior. He said he cannot login to system Red Hat using root password.

So when i check, someone change root password. I restart server and login as single user. When i put new password, it not change.

How to fix it? Is that mean someone just hack my server? That server is in DMZ zone.

Please assist me.

Thanks.

Why didn't it change when you changed it?
