Enable FTP for root user in Solaris 10

I am not able to get ftp working for Solaris 10 for root user. I am getting login failed error.
331 Password required for root.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.

Tried following things already.
1. SFTP works ok, still would like to know why FTP is not working (curious).
2. removed root from /etc/ftpd/ftpusers. restarted FTP using both svsadm and inetadm, but no luck.
3. commented CONSOLE in /etc/default/login
4. It works fine in solaris 9 by doing step 2,3. What am I missing with Sol10.
5. Also, checked in /etc/ftpaccess file, no deny-uid or deny-gid defined.

Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

NAME
ftp - FTP client configuration file SYNOPSIS
/etc/default/ftp DESCRIPTION
Use the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment lines and are ignored. Behavior Directives The ftp file supports the following behavior directives: FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default. If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that is specified in /etc/default/ftp. ATTRIBUTES
