You need to set it up first.

Go to System > Administration > Login Window. Click on the Security tab and tick the box next to "Allow local system administrator login".

If you haven't yet done so, you will need to set a root password

Go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal and type in:

username@hostname:~$ sudo passwd root

and press enter. You will be prompted for your password, then you will be asked to set a root password.

Now you should be able to log in as root with user name 'root' and the password you chose.

Hope this helps.
