You can find telnet apps to download for OS 9, though there is no built-in Terminal.app (or underlying Unix shell to run).
To change the root password, either use Netinfo Manager (under Applications > Utilities) and from the menu choose Security > Change root password, or from the Terminal command line try
sudo passwd root
For most tasks though you don't actually need to be root - you can just use sudo and supply your own password, as long as your account has admin privileges. e.g:
sudo apachectl stop
