Hi, I did follow the exact link, but the instruction given do not work.
First question: what would i type after: sudo apt-get update, when asked for password? (tried nothing, root, ... temppwd - nothing works) login as: ubuntu [email protected]'s password: Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.8.13-bone63 armv7l) * Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ Last login: Wed Aug 13 17:36:43 2014 from 192.168.7.1 ubuntu@arm:~$ sudo apt-get update [sudo] password for ubuntu: Sorry, try again. [sudo] password for ubuntu: Second question: The instruction at the link says: Enabling To actually enable root logins first you have to set a password for the root account and then unlock the locked root account. If you don't set a password for the root account the passwd command will return passwd: unlocking the password would result in a passwordless account. So, rirst execute in a terminal sudo passwd root you will prompted for a new Unix password. Write it twice(second for confirmation). Then execute sudo passwd -u root to unlock the account. This should return passwd: password expiry information changed >From theory to reality: ubuntu@arm:~$ sudo passwd root [sudo] password for ubuntu: ???? what now?
