root

[loungelover]

hi sorry if this is somewhere obvious. I tried to do some stuff as root on my pi but i realized that i don't know what the default root login is on the Debian image. I had a look around i and i cant find it can any one help?

thanks

By default, there is no root account on Debian.

To issue a command as root, put the word sudo before the command, for example
sudo reboot

If you really need to be root for a period of time, enter the command
sudo -s
Be careful what you do while in root mode. To return to normal use the command
exit

To change the root default password login as pi and enter:
sudo su
passwd
or: sudo passwd
