Again, this is for your own protection :-).
If you absolutely have a need to log in as root (after which you loose
all accountability), run the following:
$ pfexec rolemod -K type=normal root
That will switch the root user from a role to a regular user account.
Here are a couple of articles on Roles that may help you understand
their purpose. They are one of Solaris' great advantages over Linux:

I can login into a system with a "normal" user and switch to root by entering
the command
su -
plus root password. Fine.
However when I logout (root and normal user) and try to login from welcome
screen into root account then openSolaris tells me:
"Roles can only be assumed by authorized users" and denies login although
passwd is correct.
It seems to me that root account is somehow disabled for regular login.
How can I re-enable root login?
