Setting the Root Password on Ubuntu




<<  <   >  >>

There is, generally, no need to use root for Ubuntu, since everything is done via sudo. If you wish, though, you can set the root password by typing: 

sudo su

Enter the user password, and then: 

passwd

Enter the root password you wish to use. Now, you can log on as root if you wish.
