I type in su root. get error "Login incorrect"
If I login as gentoox password: id displayed and I type in xbox .
the prompt is green gentoox@Xbox blue gentoox $ IO get in but not as root.
Then I try "su" password : root "Authentican failure".
In putty su@192.168.1.103 's password: green prompt...When I type su

when you get to a text console by ctrl alt f1-6 it is ready for you to type a login name. Root's user name isn't "su root" but simply "root".
"su" is just a program that logs you in as a different user in a shell, while keeping everything else logged in as you already were. When you switch to the text console you want to type:
root [enter]
root_password (or whatever your root password is) [enter]
