Solaris superuser login
Hi!
Can someone please tell me how to log-in to Solaris as a superuser or as a root?
I have tried using "root" as a username, and my superuser password i had set in the terminal for the log-in password but it says "Roles can only be assumed by authorized users". "Permission denied."
I'm talking about logging in to the whole PC as a superuser and not in the terminal.
Please help!
Thanks!
