How to enable root login through GUI on 17.10?

 we need to change 2 files in our ubunut 17.10. Plz Follw the steps

 

Open the terminal , and type

sudo vim /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

Under  [security] type  AllowRoot=true

So that it looks like

[security]
AllowRoot=true

Save and exit.
Then run

sudo vim /etc/pam.d/gdm-password

Within this file you have comment out the line containing

auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet_success

so that it looks like this

#auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet_success

Save the file and exit and reboot.
