Hello friends...
Thanks for your replays....
"PASSWD" Command works.
But that was not i was actually asking about.
I could change the ROOT PASSWORD With that command.
But, when i try to open a directory as root using a nautilus script
("root nautilus here"), the dialogue box appearing is not accepting
the new password. It is still my regular user password(created at the
time of installation).
When i use ROOT as user name and the new password in the login screen,
it works.
In a nutshell,
i want to change the password, which is asked when we try to open a
folder as root with full privilage using nautilus script.
