not able to login as root

[Keith Antoine]

I have a copy that I installed last week of Mandriva 2007 PowerPack+.
I want to login and do some alterations in root. so I cut the auto login out 
and rebooted only when I put in root as login and root password it told
me that there wer no root login available ?????????????????????

Is it now impossible or can I work around this, looks like I might have to go
to another Distro if not.
