I don't believe this....

Folks, I found the reason I couldn't get the root password to work.
Turns out, gOS doesn't have a root password as I commonly understand
it.  I thought I had selected a root password at some point when I
first got my Cloudbook, seeing as how I did do system updates.  But
that was handled automatically.

In case you either have gOS or know someone asking for your help,
here's what you do to get root access:

Login as you normally would

Use xterm and type:  sudo su

When asked for the password for your normal ID, type in your personal
password.

Congratulations.  You are now root.
