u cant login as root directly for security reasons... to access root functions type sudo <command>
to disable sudo and enable root permanently type man root and follow the instructions...

Code:
~$sudo passwd root
and edit gdmsetup to "allow local admin to log in",is highly discouraged as ppl tends to browse internet and use without acknowledging the risk associated with it.
