You cannot login as root as i know. Use sudo su.

My bad.
You can. Just setup root password : sudo passwd root
Then cp settings: sudo sh -c 'echo "greeter-show-manual-login=true" >> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf'
After that try to login as root.

Don't advise people how to set root passwords, it is neither needed nor required.

The account you first make is in a group called 'sudo', this gives you access to the command sudo and will allow you to run all the commands with all the access you can ever need.

Can you help with this problem?
