No: the root account was not enabled, and as the thing won't boot there is no way one can tell
if a password has been changed.

Running *extundelete* from a live disk keeps giving this sort of
message on all the partitions of all the disks inside the machine:

Failed to restore inode 11796494 to file RECOVERED_FILES/file.11796494:Unable to set proper file size (enormous numner in brackets)

Prior to that extundelete shows that it *can* see files on the disk partitions.

Can anything not running as root even do this?? And if not, is root account 
enabled? and if so, has the password been changed?

It may not be recoverable, but I'm curious as to how it happened in the first 
place.

Anything noteworthy in ~/.bash_history, /var/log/auth.log, or /var/log/syslog?

Are those files even remaining?
