You don't need MCPD to change the root password. F5 reads it from the UNIX system which is underneath the F5 TMOS. Execute in TMSH 

run util bash
, once in bash prompt, execute the second command to update root account password 
passwd root
. I just changed my root password with MCPD process stopped, no issues. Give it a try.
