 Replying to [comment:3 MitchellNCharity]:
 > Many wiki instructions say something like 'login as root, no password'.
 So they no longer work.  But it's apparently uncertain whether the root
 lockdown is permanent or not.  So it's unclear how to fix them.  See #5879
 .

 Seems like fixing the wiki is in order, with a single page that describes
 the ways of becoming root.
