A brief analysis of how to set the initial value of Linux root

Ubuntu does not allow root login by default, so the initial root account cannot be used. You need to use sudo permissions under a normal account to modify the root password.

Enter sudo passwd root in the terminal and press Enter. The system will then prompt you to enter the password of a normal user (the password entered in the terminal will not be displayed).

After entering, press Enter, and then enter the new root password twice to activate the root user.

First log in as a normal user and enter the following command>>>

~$ sudo passwd root
[sudo] passwd for you:****** (enter the user password, the password will not be displayed)
Enter new UNIX password:****** (set root password)
Retype new UNIX password: ****** (repeat password)

Then remind the success message.

Log in as root user >>>

~$ su root

passwd:***** (directly use the modified root password)

su switches to the root user by default and changes to the root user's environment. After entering, you can switch to the root user in the terminal to perform some operations.
