Please *don't* do that. Even in ubuntu, the user exists but there is
no password set for the root user, hence you can't login as root.

Just grant the regular user permissions to do the things that you want
to do using polkit. Choose the kind of access you want to allow, e.g.
you can disallow remote access. Then you should have what you are
looking for.
