root login

[frosty6]

Heya

I am new to ubuntu and i was wondering if its possible to unlock the function that disables root login. This is so i can change some of the file permissions expecially that of the web file so i can copy files into it.

I look forward to you reply

Welcome to the forums. You are better off here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=326

To answer your question, you type "sudo <command>" and it magically runs the command as root.
