Sudo su password9/25/2023 My linux is rusty, but I am reminded of the early days of getting ISA cards with jumpers to work on my 386 in #Bash without the computer hard locking. It reminds me of some of my coworkers that have written code for years (I hate writing code) and if you want to generate some kind of script, they say "you just do this" and whip out some R or python like it's nothing and you sit there wondering that is what you did the last 1,000 times but with no results to show for it. There are many suggestions, but few answers. In the rasberry OS (in my case, debian based) the original question is "how can I log in to the root account". I have a similar issue, and the thread is a bit difficult to follow. That has nothing to do with kids, or the educational purpose of the Pi, but everything to do with avoiding risk of destroying the Linux file system. The big question is, though, what is it you need to do as root that you feel you need to set a root password? In general, you should spend as little time as root as possible. Third, if you do "sudo su -" and then "passwd", you'll be setting the root password. Second, you can use the command "sudo passwd" to set a root password and log into root after that using the password you set. That will give you a fully set up root shell until you log out of it. There are number of things you can do.įirst is, enter "sudo su -". Is there a trivial way to login as root or must I hack the Raspian install card? I've had superuser priviledges on every computer I've owned since the days of the TI-99 and DOS 2.0 and find it quite frustrating to constantly being told I can't edit a file as I try to get this PI4b setup to use as a desktop computer or that sudo is required. It's understandable that an OS set up for children would have the root password protected.
