It _is- the root password. If it isn't, your password file might
be corrupted (slighty, otherwise sulogin wouldn't ask for a password
at all).
Or it is a genuine bug in sulogin. Always possible, but pretty unlikely..
Wait.. do you have shadow passwords and a different root password in
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow ?
