root account
Enabling the root account
 |
Enabling the Root account is rarely
necessary. Almost everything you need to do as administrator of an
Ubuntu system can be done via sudo or gksudo. If you really need a
persistent Root login, the best alternative is to simulate a Root login
shell using the following command...
|
|
sudo -i
To enable the Root account (i.e. set a password) use:
sudo passwd root
Use at your own risk!
 |
Logging in to X as root may cause very serious trouble. If you believe you need a root account to perform a certain action, please consult the official support channels first, to make sure there is not a better alternative.
