Deepin OS requests for 'sudo' password but doesn't accept my user password in Terminal when 'sudo' is in the description.How do I retrieve or create (a)the default root or super user password in Deepin OS 20.3?

Typically during installation the Debian installer will ask if you want to use shadow passwords, create a root account, create a regular user.

If you created a root account (How do I retrieve) during installation chances are your user is not in the sudoers group. As such when you use sudo and enter a password it typically barks at you telling you you're not in the sudoers group and will rat you out to the administrator, pretty nasty I know.....

I believe there's no way to retrieve the root password, just change it if a root account exists. If you don't get the nasty attitude when using sudo, chances are you don't have a root account.

What happens after you enter your password exactly?

Nothing,just the continues blinking of the cursor as if my keypads aren't working.

I have a root account, as such "sudo" is not listed in the groups I belong to. Does sudo show up for you?

''[sudo] password for j******: ''_ appears whenever I try to run a command yet nothing appears when I input password.How do I create a root or super user account. Deepin Installed directly without asking me for this.

For those with a sudo account, the above code will create a root password.

It appears I don't have a sudo account. How do I acquire one now?

Normally I don't do this for newbies, security issues.
But you can use a search engine as such you'll eventually find something like this.
Reboot and hit the "e" key at the grub menu (might need to hit advanced options first), you'll get the grub menu entry, change the 'linux' line to something similar to the second example below:
Then hit the F10 key to boot, you'll be in single user admin mode, type command: passwd to enter new root password, you'll be prompted to enter it again to confirm. Then enter command: systemctl reboot

OP said Deepin not Debian.

Deepin is Debian Stable with it's own custom DE

Sorry, thought you'd just misread.

Do you know if the tweak much in the background? I'm always wary that "User Friendly" derivatives do weird stuff that invalidates much of what I know about the base distro.

You have to install some virtual software and give the Debian derivatives a run to answer that one, there are literally hundreds of Distros based on Debian. Ubuntu is based on Debian and there's some Duvian or something which is based on Ubuntu but adds more Debian or something... Some weird Debian Loop is all that is, just install Debian if you like it so much you need to change Ubuntu back to Debian.

I'm defenitly not interested enough to do that! Just thought you may have some additional insight into Deepin that might indicate if I would be likely to be able to help OP.

There are many.

I'd say that Ubuntu is the derivative that I'm most familiar with. I even recommend it to some people. I guess you're referring to Devuan
which was created when Debian moved to systemd.

Hmm, not sure I follow.

When I first read this Devuan's lowdown when it first come out I instantly went into LOL, LOL, LOL
Because that's what I remember, based on Ubuntu but want to be more like Debian, next generation will probably be pure Debian with different package manager or something to set it apart.

Maybe it's a different distro, but there is a Debian Loop out there...LOL!

Most likely the outcome of a deal:
If you want to use some of our Ubuntu tech in your distro you have to claim it is based on Ubuntu
