 Login as Root in Ubuntu GUI
 ======
 
+By default, Ubuntu disables the root account. You must use the sudo command for any tasks requiring root privileges.
 
+This is for your own security, of course. Using the system as root all the time is like running around with a sword in your hand. It increases the chances of messing up things.
+
+Logging in as root is still common in the servers. On the desktop side, it's quite rare to log in as root. Even Kali Linux has changed it.
+
+And yet, a few desktop users want to log in as root. This is not something advisable but surely doable.
+
+in this guide, I will show you how to **log in as a root in your GNOME desktop** using Ubuntu.
+
+### How to login as a root in the GNOME desktop
+
+🚧
+
+I won't advise login as root on the desktop. You have sudo mechanism for all your root needs. Do it only if you have a good enough reason. This tutorial is for demo purposes only. You have been cautioned.
+
+#### Step 1: Enable root account
+
+You want to log in as root. But the root account is disabled by default. The first step is to enable it.
+
+Change the root account password that will eventually enable the root account for you:
+
+```
+sudo passwd root
+```
+
+![change the password of root account in ubuntu][1]
+
+It goes without saying that you should not forget the root password.
+
+#### Step 2: Change GDM configuration
+
+🚧
+
+This part of the tutorial is only valid for GNOME. Please 
+
+[check your desktop environment][2]
+
+ and ensure that it is GNOME.
+
+Ubuntu uses GNOME by default and GNOME uses the GDM display manager.
+
+To allow log in as root into GNOME, you need to make some changes in the GDM configuration file located at `/etc/gdm3/custom.conf`.
+
+Make a backup of the config file:
+
+```
+cp /etc/gdm3/custom.conf /etc/gdm3/custom.conf~
+```
+
+In the worst case, if you somehow mess things up, the back up file can be used to replace the existing one from the TTY.
+
+Now, open the GDM file with the following command:
+
+```
+sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
+```
+
+And add the following line to allow the root login:
+
+```
+AllowRoot=true
+```
+
+![configure GDM on ubuntu][3]
+
+Press Ctrl+X to exit Nano while saving it.
+
+#### Step 3: Configure PAM authentication
+
+Now, you will have to configure the PAM authentication daemon file, which can be opened by the following command:
+
+```
+sudo nano /etc/pam.d/gdm-password
+```
+
+In this file, you will have to comment out the following line with the `#` symbol that denies the root access in GUI:
+
+```
+auth   required        pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet_success
+```
+
+![][4]
+
+[Save changes and exit from the nano][5] text editor.
+
+#### Step 4: Log in as root
+
+Now, reboot your system:
+
+```
+reboot
+```
+
+At the login screen, select the `Not listed` option, enter `root` in username and enter the password that you configured at the beginning of this guide:
+
+![Login as a root in ubuntu desktop][6]
+
+Once you log in, it will notify you by saying, **"logged in as a privileged user":**
+
+![logged in as a privileged user in Ubuntu][7]
+
+That's it! Now, you are running your Ubuntu system as a root.
+
+### Things you should know when running the system as a root user
+
+There is a reason why Ubuntu disables a root account by default. Want to know why? Here you have it:

+Root User in Ubuntu- Important Things You Should KnowHow do you become root user in Ubuntu? Either you run commands with root privilege like this: sudo any_command Or you switch user in Ubuntu to root user like this: sudo su In both cases, you’ll have to enter your own user account’s password. But there’s![][8]It's FOSSAbhishek Prakash![][9]
+
+And again, it is not advisable to log in a s root in your desktop Linux system. Please follow the norms and stay away from such (mis) adventures.
