1) In a default setup where sudo's installed and enabled, root doesn't
have a password.
2) The whole point of disabling root and using sudo is to become root
using one's own password.
3) There may be users or this or that distribution who add "NOPASSWD:"
to their sudoers files but that's up to the users.
