Root password

[Ammar33]

Hi
I am trying to install a package and it require me to sign in as root or administrator. How can I do that to be sure? and what is the password because I tried "raspbarry" as password when I type "su" command and it did not work?

Regards

sudo sh
will get a root account

Also

Code: Select all

sudo -i

which will give you a full root environment (sets up a root login). For single commands you can potentially also use

Code: Select all

sudo command

which will run a single command with super user privileges (replace command with the program you want to run)
