When a new copy of Ubuntu is installed on a PC (Intel Pentium 4) there is an option to create an user account. By default Ubuntu creates an account called "root" which is the main administrative account.

At the account creation page while installing, a "root" account CAN be made.

Since in Ubuntu, the "root "account must be enabled to access via regular login screen and by default it is disabled, the "root" account created on installation cannot be logged in! Now there is a requirement to re-install the entire OS.

Ubuntu must not allow the creation of "root" accounts while installation.
