be root:

Code: Select all

sudo -i

change the password you use to get into root:

Code: Select all

passwd nonrootuser

change the root password (you will likely never need this)

Code: Select all

passwd root

let your user into root without a password:

Code: Select all

visudo

"nonrootuser ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL"
