Delete any backups from the storage device (HDD) if you have one.

Providing you can login as root already then you can try:-
Code:sudo passwd -dl root
@bbbuk unfortunately your command didn't seem to work, got a command unknown error.
a fresh install has removed it, and I am currently installing everything back on for him. thanks for the help guys
The "sudo" command isn't available by default, it'll need adding if you really need it. (Not sure which package it lives in.)
