Hello ChootarLaal
One of the features of Ubuntu is that you don't have a root user. You would use the command: Code:
sudo That acquires you root privileges on a job by job basis. |
thanks thats good info. ill keep that in mind.
|
Still, I personally believe that every user should know the password for root. So I do this: "sudo su -" and then "passwd".
Also, please mark the subject as [solved]. |
