have you set a root password? I believe (please someone correct me if I am mistaken) when installing Zorin, you do not need to set a root password.

If memory serves me right, I did set a root password by opening a terminal and typing:
Code:
sudo passwd root


Try and set your password and then try to login as root again and see if you are more successful.

Please let us know how you get on.
