Jump to: navigation, search

open File_Manager_-_Super_User_Mode

enter root password

go to /etc/kde/kdm (or try this path: /etc/kde3/kdm )

click on file kdmrc and it will open in kwrite

select edit > find

in the text to find box type allowrootlogin and uncheck case sensitive, then click find

change the word false to true

it should now look like this AllowRootLogin=true

save and exit, when you next reboot root login will be shown
