You must use exactly 5 zeroes.
No exponentiation is allowed.
The factorial sign is allowed (and is expected to be used.)
The use of the square root is allowed.
\(\displaystyle \times, \ or \ \ *, \ \div, \ \ /, \ \ or \ a \ fraction \ bar, \ \ +, \ and \ - \ \)are allowed. I edited again.
Grouping symbols are allowed and can also be used for multiplication.
No concatenation (if it were to be possible) is allowed.
No decimal points are allowed.
No floor functions, ceiling functions, log functions, antilog functions,
no gamma functions, no trig functions, no double factorials, or any
other characters/words are allowed.
Clarifications/corrections on my instructions and/or solutions of mine
or solutions of other users are welcome and encouraged.

In the link above, a person can read that Subhotosh Khan already gave
a couple of correct solutions (that follow those former rules as well as
these newer rules).
Two of his are:
(0! + 0! + 0! + 0! + 0!)! = 120
[(0! + 0!)(0! + 0!) + 0!]! = 120
_____________________________________________
For me, certain/select solutions (expressions) will be deemed more elegant if they can
be streamlined with fewer operators, symbols, and/or operators.
