Puppet users - Jan 2013 - changing the root password on PUPPET master and init.pp

I understand that you must change the password on the host itself first, 
then change the password in /etc/puppet/modules/users/manifests/init.pp

what makes the password encrypted? Do i just put the non-encrypted new root 
password in the following sections? then puppet encrypts it?


lass users {
   case $operatingsystem {
      ''RedHat'', ''CentOS'': {
         user {
            "root":
               comment  => ''[ROOT]'',
               uid      => 0,
               gid      => "root",
               home     => "/root",

password => $ ? {
                  4 => '''',
                  5 => '''',
                  6 => '''',

You need to supply the encrypted password in the manifest.

my existing setup ( sorry im new to this) i noticed each section for 
encrypted password is different, what change each value?
I was told put the same password (encrypted) in each 4 sections after i 
change the root password on the host. see below, i replaced the existing 
encryption with 
"differ1, differ2, differ3, differ4 (solaris) values for e.g.)


case $operatingsystem {
      ''RedHat'', ''CentOS'': {
         user {
            "root":
               comment  => ''[ROOT]'',
               uid      => 0,
               gid      => "root",
               home     => "/root",
               password => $lsbmajdistrelease ? {

                  4 => ''differ1'',
                  5 => ''''differ2'',
                  6 => ''''differ3'',


 ''Solaris'': {
         user {
            "root":
               comment  => ''Super-User'',
               uid      => 0,
               gid      => "0",
               home     => "/",
               password => differ4'',
               shell    => "/bin/bash";
