I found how to login as root---- It is quite simple, search and move to login window>>Give your password>>Navigate to security tab in login window preference, check 'allow local system administartor login'..That is it....logout and log back in as 'root'.

Normally not a good idea to log in as root, just use sudo or su commands.
