To enable root user you just need to set a password for root user. To do that run sudo passwd Now you've enabled root user. To disable it run sudo passwd -l root That's it. By the way, I found the disabling part through google again. Just queried "ubuntu enable root user". The first result is this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo > I have been googling for 30-45min without luck... so its easier to ask you > Can you help me :P Of course, anyone is welcome for the query.
