Thanks to everyone who contributed suggestions.
As is so often the case, the solution was so very, very simple.
In retrospect, the long interchange of messages on this subject issue

this subject in total ... now appears to have all been totally
unnecessary.
The solution was so simple.
Just 'su' to root and change the password.
