How to change the root password on Ubuntu

June 13th, 2007 · 1 Comment

This is one of the things I meant to investigate. I know I have a password and can use sudo to do almost anything … but what’s root’s password? How to change the root password on Ubuntu was one of those “duh” moments but I’m glad to have this as a prompt to change the password. You should, too.

    I had an upgrade to Gutsy Gibbon go bad. So I’m glad that I’ve been documenting stuff like this so I can get things working again. Hope somebody else is getting some good from it.
