Well I didn't know how to set this, and yet I have been using root
accounts in a highly specialise way for years.

to the O/P
in a terminal window enter:
sudo passwd

Provide your normal user password, then enter the new one for root
twice.

If you are going to do this I would also suggest you remove admin
rights from your normal user.

P.S. arguments rage across the whole Internet about the rights and
wrongs of this. Personally I think it's up to everyone to make their own
decisions!
