If you really created root with no password, then you can just log in
as root and don't have to enter a password. Then, when you get logged
in as root, type 'passwd' and follow the prompts.
If, somehow there really is a password, but you don't know it you will
have to boot in to single user - hit the space bar during the coutdown.
Then do:
boot -s
-- wait for the boot --
fsck -a
mount -u /
mount -a
swapon -a
passwd root
follow the prompts
