Btw, is there a way to take out a root password once set?
The manual page for the passwd command describes its options. One option sets an invalid password which means that the account cannot be logged in directly, and the only way to do so is via some other means, like ssh public key authentication. Another option is to remove the password, so that one can log in as root without entering a password. Be sure to fully understand the ramifications of either options.
If you have a question about a particular command, the first place to look is always its manual page.
