I'm not sure what exactly is the problem, but the root account should have been created when Debian was installed. If you want to login on the CLI as root, you just need to open a terminal window and type su, then enter the root password when prompted.

If you are referring to being able to use sudo, you need to edit the /etc/sudoers file (as root). You might try actually writing down your question in order to make it clear what information you are looking for.

I guess you mean logging in to the desktop environment as root? This is locked by default on Debian as it's not really recommended (you can mess up your OS badly when working on the GUI as root).

However, you can launch individual programs as root. If you're using KDE, type alt-F2, then type kdesu binary (substitute binary for the name of the binary you want to use). If you're using Gnome, then you need to type gksu binary. For other WMs/DEs you might need to use a different su login program to execute programs as root.

Please, do not do create multiple threads about the same issue. In addition, try to describe your problem the best you can, providing all the necessary information for us to help you (i.e., what are you trying to do, what specific problem are you facing, etc).

You may have to use kdesudo rather than kdesu if you're using a KDE desktop. kdesu appears to be no longer in use:

Code:

~$ which kdesudo
/usr/bin/kdesudo
~$ which kdesu
~$

But both gksu and gksudo still work.
