Did you use kuser or any other graphical user management tool ? If so, your root password is probably broken too.
Logging into a GUI as root is deprecated viewtopic.php?f=86&t=16774&hilit=+security but you can see if your root password has gone by choosing terminal from the session tab at the login screen then trying to login as root. If it's also broken, you will probably find a re-install the easiest road to take but there is a way to reset the passwords and you will find it on the second page of this thread viewtopic.php?f=86&t=16777&hilit=kuser
Best of luck.
