I'm running Ubuntu 22.04. I'am trying to login to the root account.

I have created a root password with sudo passwd root, and I'm trying to login as root on the login page.

But even after entering the correct password multiple times it says that the authentication didn't work.

I tried running sudo usermod -U root to unlock the root account, but still a fail.

What else can I try doing?

Sudo -i will make one the root in Terminal. I use it for simple removals with cd and rm (-f).

But as the softwares can install up to everything as root w/o asking, one may need to do more add, remove, edit.
