You shouldnt be logging in as root. It is neither necessary nor advised
by the Ubuntu community. Log in as your user and use sudo.

Title:
  Can't log as root after cancel New User step.

Status in “shadow” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When testing a normal installation of "Warty Warthog",
  I have cancelled New User step as I've done with debian by the past.
  Once I've finished install, without any warning about this, I can't log into the
  system because root doens't have any password but can't also log into system.

  Three ways:
  - We can cancel this step and the next will be to set root password (with
  warnings, etc.),
  - We permit root user to login with no password,
  - We must add non-priviligied user before continuing.

  Best regards,
