All is there a way to prove that a root password was changed and when?

Thanks and that helps but I want something along the lines of a log showing it was changed for a compliance request.

I can't tell you where (in which log file) a password change gets logged.

However, you can find out when a user's password was last change running e.g.

chage -l root
