I got root on Diablo by installing Openssh. Once its installing, it will ask you to enter a new root password then you can use that. 
Make sure you have Openssh client as well.
Use the following on the Terminal:
ssh root@127.0.0.1
(type "yes" when prompt)
[password]
enjoy!
It also works well on KDE
Root on Konqueror (File manager/browser)
On Location/address bar type:
fish://root@127.0.0.1
[password]
enjoy!
Linux Rulez!

Would changing root pwd actually mess up the Becomeroot shell installation, and you will be forced to use 'su' from there on?

There's a great wiki page (recently updated) on exactly this subject: https://wiki.maemo.org/Root_access
Cheers,

This is weird-- I installed becomeroot on my N810, and never set a root password. Until recently, just running "sudo becomeroot" took care of everything-- but then out of the blue xterm is now asking for a password afterward! WTF??? 
AFAIK I did nothing to cause this.
Disregarding ssh... how do I get becomeroot back to how it was?

Probably /etc/sudoers got changed or you installed something like rootsh?

& you can't install rootsh if becomeroot is installed 
But I agree that checking /etc/sudoers would help as gainroot does depend on sudo.

If you really want to check it, you'll need rootsh or ssh :P
With rootsh, you can do
or my favourite thing to do with sudo files is to install zap's sudser so I can just sudo <anything>
To the OP:
The password is rootme, I recently ran it through a cracker to make sure they hadn't changed it. The reason you can't use it is this:
As you can see, the root account is locked on boot if the tablet is in "production" mode.
EDIT:
The more I think about it:
/etc/sudoers misses an:
& to use su, busybox needs to run it with setuid set.
