Root

[Pirolocito]

I've installed wubi, and it is just perfect, just what i was looking for.

1 simple question...

On install we choose one user and his password, but not the root password...

I need to compile a driver for the webcam and dont have password for root.

Thank you

There is no root account in Ubuntu by default. If you want to become root, try:

sudo bash

and type your user password when prompted.

Why is that?

How can i create one?

Have you tried typing in sudo bash?

[Pirolocito]

Yes sudo bash does the work, but i was used to use su, and su, doesn work

thank you
