Anyway, if you absolutely have to log in as root, and you know that's bad, open up the KDE control center and select System>loginmanager>users and you should see that root has a check in the box for hidden user. So click on the admin mode box below and give it your root passwd and uncheck the box. Next time login will show root user.
