Logging as Root in Ubuntu 6.10

Linux, Tech, Tutorials, Ubuntu - 5 Comments » - Posted on March, 2 at 10:10 am

This was quite frustrating for me since i could never log in to Ubuntu as Root and hence could never configure my internet to work on it coz the command :

sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

never worked for me, so i bugged lot of people asking about the same and hence found the solution!!

Login to Ubuntu with ur username and password. Goto System–> Administration–>User and Groups. Goto Root user, choose ur desired password. Close it.

Then Goto System –> Administration –>Login Screen–> Security Tab and then choose Allow root to login … something like this would be written… close gnome and logout and now u can login as Root!!
