Admin User

[Nathaniel13]

what are the default admin credentials

[SimonSmall]

Why?

Just use the Pi user. If the system complains that you don't have permission, add "sudo " in front of the command (for Raspian OS).

Or are you asking for a different OS or when using the GUI desktop?

root is the admin, the overlord or bofh account for Linux and Unix alike.

Normally you cannot access root because it has no password, however you can use sudo su or set a working password with sudo passwd

For those that do not like the pi user enter this:

Code: Select all

sudo passwd -l pi
exit

Happy passwd hacking !!

[redhawk]

If you set a password for root you can login as root.

But if you must go down that rather drastic path, make sure you have enabled root or another user login first!

I did look that one up , whoa.

Really a true BOFH advice. Don't do that !
Set a password for root first , at least.
