I haven't tried this (nor would I want to) but it does not sound like a good idea to me. First, man passwd says that the -l option is for locking user accounts, it may not work on root. Secondly, if you do lock out root, how whould you administer the system? Would sudo still allow you root access? I don't know and I would not want to try it on MY system.
