What exactly are you trying to do? Your question doesn't make sense.

Actually the question isn't clear, but I'm assuming you mean a root password.

If I am correct, you'll want a mixture of upper case and lower case letters, numbers, and punctuation. The password needs to be at least 8 characters long and must not contain a dictionary word.

Do you mean, logging in as root account. If that is what you are trying to do, all you have to do is logout (To go to login screen), Type in ¨root¨ as username and root password.

???? what "rdp"??????
just a guess because we have NO idea what you are talking about
" Remote Desktop Protocol"


google " strong password "

numbers and letters ARE NOT strong
they are VERY easy for a computer to crack and VERY hard for a person to remember
the hardest to crack are phrases like " ThisIsAGoodPassword" or " ItWasADarkAndStormyNight" and they are VERY human rememberable

we are ONLY guessing because there is no such thing as a " Centos root"
there is a "root password " though .

No I don't. From the looks of it neither does anybody else around here. Think that's a coincidence? I've run Linux as my main OS for over a decade and me and the others aren't confused by your poorly worded question because WE don't know what were talking about! You talk about root like it's a program or something and not an admin acct. Asking a confusing poorly worded question, then following up with smartass replies is no way to get help. Good Luck, if that's your attitude then you better make friends with google, because you won't make any here.
