The Style Guide says "system administrator" rather than "root" or
"superuser":

http://developer.gnome.org/documents/style-guide/gnome-glossary-generic-terms.html

So how 'bout

"The system administrator is not allowed to log in in from this
screen."

I'd switch this to the active voice and use "account" rather than
"login":

"The system administrator has disabled your account."
