Setting Password for Root User in Ubuntu

Setting Password for Root User in Ubuntu

In Ubuntu, the root user account is disabled by default for security reasons. However, if you need to set a password for the root user, you can do so by following these steps:

1. Open a terminal window.
2. Enter the command sudo passwd root
3. You will be prompted to enter your user password.
4. After entering your user password, you can then enter and confirm the new password for the root user.
5. Once done, the password for the root user will be set.

It is important to note that enabling the root user account and setting a password for it can pose security risks, so it should be done with caution and only when absolutely necessary.
