/bin/passwd -s root
If there is an expiring date for root.

Use getprpw

# /usr/lbin/getprpw root


Look for the SPWCHG date. SPWCHG=Successful Password change.

Have a look at the 'getprpw' man page for information available via getprpw.

To get only the spwchg date do:

# /usr/lbin/getprpw -m spwchg root
