In your /etc/passwd file, see if you have an x in the second field in the first line for root user. For example..

yes it is there. but still I am logged in without password prompting for root. is there any thing else I need to do? I think there was another suggestion given by Dinesh which I just can't recall. may be that will work? is there any thing I need to set right for getting a prompt for password? regards. Krishnakant.
