Can you say what it is you want to achieve?
Debian will assign the UID and GID 1000 to the first normal user
account created. This user account will never have root privileges
except through su or sudo, or one of the variants of them. There is
only one root account, with UID/GID 0.
No user account can be turned into root, this is not Windows. If you
want a particular user to have root privileges, you either give him the
root password and let him use su, or assign some or all privileges
using sudo and he can use his own password for these occasions. The
latter is recommended, as any log entries will show his user name. If
more than one person is using root through su, it is often impossible
to say which user did what.
Does any of this cover what you want to do? If not, please explain
further.
