For experienced *nix users only: if you want to circumvent the
security setup on Ubuntu (GNOME), here are the instructions:

Ubuntu 8.04LTS:
http://www.ardoros.com/2008/07/how-to-login-as-root-on-ubuntu.html
Ubuntu 10.04LTS:
http://blog.ask4itsolutions.com/2010/05/21/login-as-a-root-from-gui-ubuntu-10-04-lts/

after that you are able to login as root, both from GUI and from
command line in text mode,
though do not blame me if you do some damage :-)

PS: Alberto just told me that he is using Ubuntu KDE and that, in such
case, he had to edit the /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc changing

AllowRootLogin=false

in

AllowRootLogin=true
