KDM no root login

Hello,

I just recently installed FreeBSD and configured a KDE desktop, but I felt it might look a bit nicer to have a visual login, so I decide to install KDM. All went well for the installation and all was great, great that is, until I decided to attempt to alter some files. To my surprise when I went to log in as root KDM would not allow me to. After a bit of research I was told to execute a program in "run command" on the toolbar, and choose to run it as root, however when I went about this I discovered that for some reason my root password was incorrect. I checked over multiple times and I am POSITIVE I was entering the correct password. Does anyone know why this may have happened or how I can fix it?
 
You can't log on as root to X. It's possible to change something to be able to do this but why would you want to?

If you desperately need to run a graphical program as root, then do it from a terminal emulator. You have to run
Code:
xhost -localhost
before you try this.
