[opensuse] My root password has changed!

Yesterday I was out of town. This morning I tried to start up the wifi
(11.0 doesn't restart the network after a suspend-to-disk), and the root
password I've been using since I got this computer doesn't work now.
All the other accounts that I've tried login fine.

john@embelex:~> su
Password:
su: incorrect password
john@embelex:~> su -
Password:
su: incorrect password
john@embelex:~> su root
Password:
su: incorrect password
john@embelex:~>


Is there anything I can do short of reinstalling suse?
