I mean can I login using Advanced options -> Recovery Menu as root user without any restriction (except for a Full Disk Encrypted system)? Can someone explain how to fix this security hole?

Visual explanation: screenshot of recovery menu

    It's not a security hole - it's deliberate. Using that option requires physical access to the machine, which means all non-encryption forms of security can already be bypassed. If it bothers you, then use encryption.

  • It is a bit not obvious when we installing operating system and it asks to create a secure-good password for user and open doors to any with most full privileges.

    Physical security has always been just as important as account security. Now you know. Spread the word so your friends don't make the same mistake.

  • SSH root access isn't looks like is Physical.
