Try this command

Code:

kdesu yast

If kdesu gives error that password isn't working. Reinstall it. I had a strange problem a few days back that kdesu wouldn't accept my password at all, and the same password was working nicely from the terminal. So, I just updated kdesu and things were back to normal.

I could not find kdesu but fixed the problem easily.
I logged as root, started yast and changed root's password

Nice tip, I am sure I'll find it handy when I install 10.2
