There's exactly one superuser account in any Linux/Unix system,
the one with UID=0 and username "root". You can't create a "new"
one.
If you must give more than one user the superuser privileges, use
the "sudo" mechanism. See "man sudoers" and "man sudo".

Choose a long enough random character string, don't write it
down, don't login directly to root account (use su) and don't
tell it to anyone.
