    Login as root is disabled in the system by the default. For security reasons we do not recommend to enable it. But if you are aware of the dangers and you are sure that you want to enable root login, you should edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf by adding the line AllowRoot=true below [security] section. Save the file and exit.

    Then edit /etc/pam.d/gdm-password and comment the line (add # sign at the beginning of the line) auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet_success.

    Reboot your system after making the changes.
