You should have then been asked to enter and re-enter a new password -
for root? 

Yes.  But note that the OS does not know that you enabled Root, so you still have the option of using Sudo with your own Password.  I still used that for routine, one-off actions, or if I wanted the special Logging that occurs for Sudo.
