I do not follow completely much of what the OP writes, particularly
"system management account" and "guy interface". Disabling the root
login with the installer simply means administration tasks have to
be carried out with sudo. It does not affect the user account and is
independent of the desktop used.
His problem appear to be he cannot even login to a user account.
Could it be a matter of memory? Not yours or mine - his. :)
