You can give it one during install, but it isn't required, so most people never realize that they can do that. As I prefer su to sudo, I always do. To correct that without reinstalling, run this: > sudo passwd > which will you to change (or in this case set) the root password. Once that's done you, and anybody else who knows it can become root. I log in to that workstation many times each day as root. I always create a root password when I create a new machine. I am asking how do I enable root login for cockpit. I do not want to use sudo. I suppose it may be a KDE plasma issue as I see "Fedora Linux KDE Plasma" in the header of the login dialog. So how do I enable login to plasma as root? This particular server is the first time I used Fedora instead of CentOS or some other Red Hat derivative. This server was actually first created with Fedora 28, and I just converted it to use as a gateway after upgrading to Fedora 36 (via 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35. Before this I rarely logged into plasma as root, but on occasion I did, and is was successful, then. What has changed and how do I fix it?
