[K12OSN] logging in as root

[Huck]

help you do what now?

logging in as root? you aren't going to be able to at the GUI by default...

hit ctrl-alt-F1
you should get a text-based login...

attempt to login as root there or via SSH...if you've installed ssh 
server...let us know...I forget how to enable logging in as root on the GUI.
