Setting Root Password on Ubuntu
Setting Root Password on Ubuntu
By default, when we install a fresh ubuntu(server) OS, we do not have any root password set. The only access we have is just sudo access, which is set up in the first time we install it.
Therefore, we couldnt access some administrative previledges, such as "synaptic package manager". To set the root password, type this on the terminal:
$ sudo passwd
Enter your new password, verify it, then exit terminal.
Cheers.
