Problem starting administrative application.

[Yogesh soni]

Dear friends,
I've installed ubuntu 5.10 on my system.
When i tried to login as root from login screen it doesn't allow me to login
as root. Is there any way to login as root on desktop?
when i login as a different user logged successfully on my system,
but when i try to run any administrative application from System menu from
panel, it asks me to enter root password, when i enter it correctlly it
doesn't run the specified application and display a message that says,
"failed to run users-admin(, ...) as user root: wrong password".
Now how can i solve this proble.
