Lost root passwd

[Jack V]

So changing your root passwd while your are holding your baby son in your arms isnt the best idea in the world 

Two days later, erhmz, what did I changed it into? 

Tried booting into single user mode -> mount -o rw / -> passwd -> reboot. But the passwd wont stick after the reboot.

Is there anything other I need to do (besides not forgetting the root pass) to make the passwd stick after reboot?
