Re: [gentoo-security] Should I change my password?

[Ghislain Bourgeois]

If you have a doubt that your server has been compromised, not only you should change your password, but you should reinstall the server from scratch and known good backups.

My root password is a small word.

Not a good thing... make it a long password with different characters (alpha numeric + special characters).
