Here is something I found how to do on UBUNTU.

If you want to have a root account on UBUNTU do the following

Menu: Administration; Login Window;  Security Tab, Put check Mark in 
Administrator Login ok/close.
Then go to USERS/GROUPS put check mark in "ALL USERS", find root; click 
on Properties, change password to what you want; re enter password, then 
click on Permissions/Priveleges [ it will be the last TAB on right ]and 
check ALL Boxes volia now you have a ROOT account
