The strict security policy of the ubuntu doesn’t allow you to login as root.Its strictness seems somewhat meaningfull when we think about the novice linux users(who just migrate fr0m the windows world) because their system may become unstable or may corrupt due to a little mistake if they have the power of root in gui mode.
But it is very frustrating when it comes to experienced users.Although we can do it fr0m command line interface(Using sudo) but we are not masochist because if we can enable the root login in gui mode then it is fine(Although efficiency may be different in both cases but in this high computation world we can neglect those little difference) and enjoyable.Lets come to the point-
Actually we can enable root login in ubuntu latest versions like 9.10 0r 10.04(Lucid Lynx) very easily by using a command sudo passwd.
