---

1. First step is to set root password:

   $ sudo passwd
   

   The above command will set a root password which will be later user to login to GUI.

2. Next, step is to edit the /etc/gdm3/custom.conf GDM configuration file to allow root login.

   

   use your favourite text editor and as a root user edit the /etc/gdm3/custom.conf file to add the AllowRoot=true line.

3. Next, edit PAM authentication daemon configuration file /etc/pam.d/gdm-password and comment line which denies root access to graphical user interface.

   To do so edit file /etc/pam.d/gdm-password and put # in front of the line containing:

   auth   required        pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet_success
   

   

   Comment line which denies root’s access to graphical user interface

4. All done. Reboot your Ubuntu system.

   

   Upon a new login select Not listed? and enter root’s credentials.
