I haven't actually tried this since all my systems so far have had a
root account, but
sudo useradd -u 1 -p throwawaypassword root
should do the trick.  Then run 
sudo passwd --expire root
so that root will have to change their password on the first login.
Then immediately login as root and set the root password to what you
want.

There is a possible security hole here if you are on a system
with multiple users, since someone could see that the root account has
been created, set to expired, login, and have root access.  Unlikely.

See man pages for useradd, usermod, and passwd.
