Re: Root password change !
You are in single user mode.
Run the passwd command.
Done.

Re: Root password change !
init:3:initdefault:
when you see the message "overriding with default level with 's'", it is basically telling you that "you might be expecting to go to run-level 3 but instead I am going into run-level 's' as you requested (s=single user).
So, you are good to go. Even after booting into the single user mode, you are getting asked password, you might be out of luck and have to restore the OS to gain root access, short of trying third party tools.
Good luck.
