Normally since opensolaris, root is a role (not a useraccount), so indeed you can not directly log in as one, except when system is in maintenance singleuser mode. This is by design, to make audit trails more useful and overall security better.

You can use 'usermod' (IIRC) to change root back to a 'nortmal' (or was it 'user'?) account.
