You can't. PAM is compiled into the authentication programs. Without PAM
you'd never be able to login at all! It's PAM that actually checks your
password etc etc etc.

This normally means you're trying to login as "root" but the terminal
you're using is not listed in /etc/securetty
Two solutions:
1) Add tty1 to /etc/securetty
OR
2) comment out the pam_securetty lines in /etc/pam.d/* files
( maybe only /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/remote )
I'd recommend solution "1" myself.
