Root Login in ubuntu

The users of Ubuntu are always thinking about how to get the root user login via User interface, We can enable it in two very easy steps

1. #sudo passwd root

enter the password for the root user

2. sudo sh -C ‘echo “greeter-show-manual-login=true” >> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf’

Now when we login there will a new login prompt where we have to enter the username(root) and password of the user.

This is how we can login as a root in ubuntu.
