As it is ubuntu root password has to be set by the user.. ubuntu people donot provide root access by default. if you had never changed it then you can change (or create) a new root password by using current user name and password. here is how you can: 1. login as current user 2. open terminal and issue following command: $ sudo passwd root the above command will ask for current user passwd so to authorize sudo access then provide new password for root and confirm it.. i hope this had helped :) but i cannot remember the root password > how can i know my forget password > > please tell me > _______________________________________________ > ILUGC Mailing List: > http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc > -- idlecool _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
