The access to root is restricted via the web interface. To log in as root requires a monitor & keyboard on the IPcop box. Most things can be done as Admin. (the password would have been set up when you loaded IPcop). I find it is easier to reload the box if I have problems (like forgetting the password...) I suggest downloading the latest release, as some older versions had some problems. For problems like this Google because there are many Q&As on the web that will steer you in the right direction. The manual is good, but you need an understanding of the terminology (I get mixed up with the red, orange & green interfaces - so lucky I am not colour blind as well!)
