Modify Root Access

When we install ubuntu from LiveCD, root account looks like dissable. We cant login with root account, just could login with user only.

When we want install program or application from terminal we have used sudo. Its not a problem if we just used ubuntu for home application but when we want develop, its tired to type sudo again sudo again.

In this section I just want to share to make root active.

1. Open Accessories -> Terminal

2. sudo passwd

3. Type new password for root

4. If we want to be root we just type”su” -> enter the root password

5. Now we are being root, no need type sudo went we want doing something which just only root granted to do

Ex : bearisusanto@akmakoe:~$ su
Password:
root@akmakoe:/home/bearisusanto#

Activated root at user login

1. System -> Administration -> Login Window

2. At security tab, enable “Allow Local Administrator Login”
