I need to use the root account - i.e. log on as root from the start.

I'm not interested in sudo or getting temporary root privileges.

And with the greatest of respect- please no warnings about root or it not being best practice! I've seen a few threads on this and the focus seems to be more about not using it rather than a clear set of instructions to enable the root account. Every thing suggested does not work.

I just need to be presented with a root account when I boot up my machine.

I would therefore be grateful for a concise set of instructions without the string of dire warnings. It would be great to pin such a guide as there seems to be so many versions.

Thank you

Root user already exist in PC but password is not setup.

Just you need to do

sudo passwd root

that's it.

then you can do as normal logs as user.
