U need to set root passwd first in a terminal
Code:
sudo passwd root
and enter root passwd twice.
now run "gdmsetup" and in the tab security select/tick "Allow local system administrator login".now next time u can login as root.though its a security risk.i believe ur using standalone system.

see dapper wiki for more infi:

@Executioner, Logging in as Root is a very bad practise!!
You can execute System Adminstration commands using sudo, gksudo, gksu.
If you login as Root , you compromise security!! That means any process can execute
as Root. That can do great damage to Ubuntu O.S.

Still if you need to access root shell use command
Code:
 sudo -s -H
The method prakash told isn't recommended for newbies, it can get dangerous. Use a normal account and use sudo and gksudo when root access is needed.
