removal of saved root password.. how to??

hi

i mistakenly saved root password (remember password) in a limited user account..
since i do not want anyone else to be able to mess up with my system i want to know how to remove this saved password..

btw, i know one way it would be to delete this limited account and its home folder and recreate it.. but, is there any other way to do so??

thanks in advance..
