Sorry, my fault for not being clear. When I talk about the 'root' password I mean the one to use with sudo. I do know that there is a separate one for, what shall I say, the real root.On Thu, 30 Mar 2017 18:21:14 +0100 Neil via list <list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hello Neil,system for years. I suppose if I change the root password it will automatically change the log on password too.The root password is totally separate from the password you log in with/sudo with: Changing one, won't change the other. However, as Michael says, you may not even have a root user and associated password at all.
What my original question was about is the log in password being the same as the one needed with sudo. We are all using Xubuntu, so under the Ubuntu system, how do I find the root password, as opposed to the one to log in and use with sudo?
