I ALSO HAVE GIVEN ROOT ACCESS TO ANOTHER MEMBER OF THIS LIST AND HE IN FACT TRIED TO HELP ME INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT YOU DID. AND FROM 2 OTHER PEOPLE AS SOME OTHER FORUMS TOO.
You know what you're saying there? You've given (at least) four people you don't know at all (you know, on the internet nobody knows you're a dog and stuff) - and as such shouldn't trust them at all, either - free and full admission to a system that critical for you. That's like handing out keys to the front door of your home to any passer-by on the street who you feel like talking to - and then later wondering why your belongings are suddenly gone.
Seeing how riled up you get about this, what Chris did is for the better. At least it seems that you won't be able to change your root password back, either, and as such you won't have root access anymore to your system for the time being, which makes your system and the internets a safer place for now.
