Hello,

As you have changed password so this line is invalid.
Now run pwconv to make shadow file. It will append root entry at the
end of file and automatically delete that line.

You can also delete it yourself.

Note: pwconv is not usually in $PATH. You can use absolute path or
......:-) You will find it yourself. ;-)
