SOLVED: Root user authentication failure
I was trying to login my HDA as root user by command su - and password was entered then. I'm pretty sure I use same password for both regular user login and root user. However, I got the failure today. Anyway I can reset the root user password or any possible cause for it? Thanks.
Re: Root user authentication failure
Probably the easiest method is to login as your 1st admin user. Then do:
Code: Select all
sudo su -
passwd

Re: Root user authentication failure
This is the right way I think. I followed the amahi Q&A did this:
But seems like this works for me. Thanks. My issue resolved.If you are already logged in as another user enter su - to change the current session to the root user

Yes sudo will work too. You will find the FAQ and wiki are great sources of help.
