When you uncheck it for the first time, the next dialog will be a dialog asking
for root password.
This is intentional. From "Installation Settings", you do not enter
subworkflow, but only specific modules, where "user" and "root pw" are
distinct. So when you enter just user module, you only change user's password
there, and the checkbox is used when you are actually entering user's password.
Root password you've already set will:
- be changed again when you set new password for user and have the [x] Use this
password for system administrator checked
- will not be changed when you uncheck the checkbox and change the user
password
- will _not_ be changed when you uncheck the checkbox and do not change the
user password
If you want to change the root password explicitely, you can enter root
password dialog from Installation Settings directly.
I think current behavior makes sense.

You can only switch to "administrator password!=user password" mode the first
time the user settings module is shown in the installation workflow.
When you uncheck it for the first time, the next dialog will be a dialog asking
for root password.
3. Enter user settings module from "Installation Settings" summary view
4. Uncheck "[ ] Use this password for system administrator, "Accept"
4. Reenter user settings module from "Installation Settings" summary view or
start installation to see that setting was reset to "[x] Use this password for
system administrator"
