Login as a root from GUI Fedora 14

Update the following files:
vim /etc/pam.d/gdm
#auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet

vim /etc/pam.d/gdm-password
#auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet
Log out of that account and login in as root using the "Other" option. You will get some long winded alert about how it is not secure to use the root account, just close and you are in!
