Can't log in as root on new installation

[Saldegracia]

Hi there, I am just starting out with Kali Linux, so please forgive me if the answer to t his question is very obvious. I installed Kali on my machine and during the installation process created a user and password which work fine.

However, my understanding is when I want root access I should be able to log on as user root with pw toor, correct? For some reason this does not work, totally fresh install. Any ideas how I can log onto my new system with root access?

Any advice will be much appreciated, Thanks!

u have to login as newly created user, open terminal:
sudo su
passwd root
and set new password for root account :)
