Possibility to avoid passwd change for root?

[Wolfgang Pfeiffer]

Just read the thread on how to create a new password for root (entering
single user mode, writing "linux single" at the lilo prompt then typing
"passwd" etc. ...

How can I prevent this, because this possibility (as convenient it may be
for a poor admin having lost his password)  basically leaves my system
vulnerable for every creep knowing the trick, too ...

Please tell me someone I'm wrong ...

Regards.
Wolfgang.
