I haven't actually tried this since all my systems so far have had a
root account, but
sudo useradd -u 1 -p throwawaypassword root
should do the trick. Then run
sudo passwd --expire root
so that root will have to change their password on the first login.
Then immediately login as root and set the root password to what you
want.
I don't understand how this is an answer to the question. There is
always a root account, you can't create one. I think he just wants it
to run ".bashrc" at login which it isn't (?) for some reason.
