it is saying that your root password has expired .
how to get my root password.
try to boot into single-mode, in some linux systems you can change root password from there.
what to do:
in GRUB, select "edit command before booting" and append new last string with single text.
when you system has loaded, remount root partition to read-write mode
and change password.
then reboot
