It has been quite a long time since which I am using Ubuntu Linux
as my primary OS and now I have been through several points where users
find difficulty in performing several tasks. One of them is about
logging in as a root user. Linux administrator account can do all the
tasks except some which changes system settings. So this processes
requires root login. Here I am providing you those two ways which I have found to be the easiest. Enjoy!

1. Terminal Mode
I have been to some situations where I need to login as root to get
some things installed or done via terminal mode. You have to Google it a
lot and then you will find some solutions but they will be too long or
too complicated. I am giving you the easiest solution to login as root
in Ubuntu. Just go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal and
enter the command below and press enter. After that, It will prompt for
your administrator password. Enter the password and hit the enter and
it will log you in as a root!sudo –s

2. Graphical Mode
You can install application from terminal root login but now if you
want to copy some files or move some files from your root directory then
this process will be long enough if you try via command terminal. So it
will be better to use KDE root login. Just press Alt+F2 and it will open “Run Application”
window, in that window, type the code given below and hit the enter. It
will prompt you to insert the administrator password, press enter after
inserting the password and now it will open a root directory browser
via which, you can move, copy, create, delete any file you want to!gksudo nautilus
