First - from the text terminal, the login account is "root" (without the quotes). You only use the su command after you've logged in with a normal account to switch to root. It's not the name of the root login. That name is - well - root.
Also - you probably know this, but su -1 won't work - it's su -l (dash lower case L)
Cheers,
Paul
