liquidzoo Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 in a terminal: type su <enter> Enter the password for root <enter> passwd <enter> That will prompt you for the current (I think) and then the new password for root. You can do the same thing with your user(s) if you want to change that password too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
