To change your password type passwd in the terminal (or shell), to add another user type useradd. You can see description of any command by using the man command, so try man useradd...

Now you should change your root password, since everyone knows it now. Also, next time don't tell anyone what the root password is.

And don't forget to use a more complicated password with numbers and special symbols so they can't be easily guessed.

And also don't forget to change it on a regular basis, just in case someone has found it out.
