This has been covered before, but root has been designated a role rather than an ordinary user in 2008.05; thus you cannot log in as directly as root through the GUI - you should log in as the other user that you created, and then su to root; or use pfexec to execute privileged commands, or access restricted files. After all this, if you have the desire to log in as root through the GUI, then you must follow the path of logging in as the other user, su'ing to root, and then entering the command rolemod -K type=normal root Or prefix the above command by pfexec. Then you will be able to log in as root through the GUI. HTH... Sean.
