One way, without changing things is to use a virtual terminal (ctl-alt-f1 through ctl-alt-f6)
You are at the command line level.

another way is with the sudo command  

cd /etc/
sudo vi sudoers
look at the line with root 
add your logon id beneath it or at the tail end of the file
exit after saving

Respond to password request
sudo su
password

or sudo su -
password:


There is a third way, and that is to change some /etc/pam.d/gdm*  files. That will allow you to log into gnome as root.  The advantage here is that you can make good use of the GUI interface (example, drag and drop,  cut and paste, etc.)
