Enable root login in GUI on Fedora 12



Login as Normal User.
#Open the terminal and use vim or gedit to open the /etc/pam.d/gdm
$:  su
Password: enter password
#:  nano /etc/pam.d/gdm

Comment the following line  'auth required pam_succeed_if.so user !=root quiet'

# auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet

Do the same for "/etc/pam.d/gdm-password"

Save the file and logout from GUI. Now you can login as root
