so at the log in prompt
instead of logging in with my user name I put root and then the password that I set up?
thanks

I know you already acknowledged this, but it generally a very very very bad idea to allow full root access in this way.

First, you could just log in as `root`. That gives you full root access.

You could also add your user to the `admin` group.

But your simplest solution might be to just your user to the `sudoers` file.
