    problem with su

    I have been trying to log into the root but when I type my password I get
    chad@chad-desktop:~$ su
    Password:
    su: Authentication failure
    chad@chad-desktop:~$
    what is causing this is it a problem with my pass and if so hoW do I change it to correct this problem
    Thanks

    By default, Ubuntu's root password is disabled (For security purpose). You can get root privilege just by inputing the command below on your terminal and USE your own password:

    Code:
    sudo -i
    Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time. So long as there is a regular progression of Stimuli to get your mental hooks into, there is room for lateral movement. Once this begins, its rate is a matter of discretion.
