Hello, Everyone: How can I use "root" as a telnet account? It is disabled by default. Thank you.

I think you'll find that hosts.equiv does not give root access. Only root's own .rhosts will do that. But the answer you are looking for is to add the word 'secure' to the end of the entry in /etc/ttys for ttyp0 etc.
