AFAIK it is just copied from FAIBASE.var. As the variable is never used
in the grml classes it seems to me that, at least the grml classes, do
not support it directly.

The FAIBASE class supports AFAIK setting the password via the ROOTPW
variable. 
Just have a look at the fai documentation. This has IMHO nothing to do
with grml-live.

Please note that i do not have deep knowledge of grml-live nor of fai.
So maybe you should ask the more general fai related questions on the
fai list or wait until mika is back.
