Su Login Failed?

So I log in under my regular user and I try to access Yast Admin to
install Compiz and it asks for my root password. Once I type it in it says
invalid password.
Then I go under my terminal and type in "Su"
It asks for my password I type the same one in and it logs me in.
Then just to double check I logged in on a session under Root and put in
the same password and it logged me in. Any ideas on to how to fix the
issue?

Have you checked the keyboard layout settings? I had a similar problem the
other day and it was a layout issue.

Tristan,

check your /etc/sudoers with visudo to find any odd linebreaks.
