One day i needed to change my password 
It appeared to go fine
When i logged in all goes fine

then some days later i wanted to install software and of course it asked for authentication
I entered my password but it politely tells me its incorrect
i tried my old password with no better success

why cannot we have a separate root password......

Anyway how to get out of this situation pl?
