root password

[jollysolivajonathan]

I would like to run debian task selector. But the root asked me for a password, i don't know the password infact i didnot configured it for password. Only on the login i set a password.

If you invoked the command from a terminal you could put sudo at the start of the command.

The root password is not set by default but you can set the root password with this command:
sudo passwd root

Most applications can be run with sudo but some programs do ask for the root password. One example is the Aptitude package manager included in the Raspbian image. If you start Aptitude with the desktop menu link then you must use the real root password when prompted. If the root pw is not set then you can't update anything.... However if you start Aptitude from a command line with sudo then you don't need the root password:
sudo aptitude

Thanks for the reminder. I did this on Ubuntu and saved a lot of "sudo" commands, lol.
