please post what happens in the logs when your "su -" command failed.
depending on your distribution you could find that according info in /var/log/messages,
/var/log/syslog, /var/log/secure, /var/log/auth.log,... or something else - sorry - don't
know exactly for mandrake....
if u have installed the ssh-daemon - can u run the command "ssh root@localhost"
and check if the login would succeed?
any special auth mechanism? ldap?

-Hello, I'm new user in linux community. I have installed in my computer mandrake linux 10.0
Sometime ago it was working normal without problems. After that I changed the root password, always that I want to change something in the configuration of the system, I run su from other user (vladimir).
But the system says 'invalid password'. I tried the old, and new password, but it doesn't work
I have to logout, and login with root to change some configurations.
Anyone could help me!!
thank you
