root user enabled, but does not appear at login

I was given a default short name during the set up on a MacBook Pro, and now am attempting to change it.

The root user is enabled in Directory Utility, but will not appear at log in after logging out as Administrator. I've restarted and logged out several times but root refuses to show up at log in.

What am I missing?

Thanks, Roger

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.7), 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo 4 Gb
