Dear Customer,
Kindly Flow up steps below to Switch to Root Mood!
If you haven’t configured the root account and don’t want to, you can use the sudo command to switch to the root user temporarily. Open a terminal window and type:
sudo su
When prompted, enter your account password (the password you normally use with sudo). The password input won’t be displayed on the terminal. After successful authentication, you’ll be logged in as the root user. You can verify this by running the whoami command, which should show “root” as the user1.
Configuring the root account: By default, Ubuntu doesn’t allow direct configuration of the root account during installation. However, if you want to configure the root account, follow these steps:
Set the root password using:
sudo passwd root
After setting the password, switch to the root account using:
su
Enter the new root password when prompted.
Remember that using sudo is generally recommended over directly logging into the root account for security reasons. It allows you to execute specific commands with root privileges without permanently enabling the root account2. If you encounter any issues, feel free to ask for further assistance!
Best Regards,
