simple question:how do u logon as root?
 

i am really a :newbie:

open a terminal and type :
su -
and then type the root password .

if your at an actual login prompt then as username type :
root
and then type the password ..

Since it looks like (based on your profile) that you use Mandrake, and if you want to login from kdm, go to configuration -> kde -> system -> -> login manager and then uncheck root from the hidden users list.

Be advise that logging in as root is generally not a good idea.

ok thanks
