I don't think you can, most are setup to not allow root login.

You can start a shell and do "sudo su"
to have a root shell. And there is a "add a root shell" in the "add
panel" section. You may have to fire up Alacarte to get access.

Being root as a general idea is a really bad things, one of the things
that Unix/Linux/OS-X do right and Windows does wrong.

Usually, a better solution is to make sure that the file protections are
setup properly.

I read these forums using email, and I've lost the start of this thread.
What are you trying to do, again?

Thanks
Pat
