Problem regarding Root login
Hello,
I use ubuntu Linux. At the time of installation I used computer name as aswin. So that I m not able to login as root to system, so that I face lot of problem . plz give ans. me. |
As far as I know that's normal for Ubuntu. You should use the sudo command if you need root access from the command line. There's more info on this here
|
Yeah. Ubuntu disables the root account by default for various reasons. It's EXTREMELY annoying for people that know what they're doing, but I can (almost) see the merit of doing it for new users (its target audience).
Either way, I'm pretty sure there's a way to enable it. |
To enable root, simply type at the terminal:
$ sudo passwd root (without the $, of course) It will as you to type a password and retype the password. From there, you can su in with the password you specified. Cheers and let us know. :) |
