Hello , Glad to be part of Amahi . My server is running great but I am trying to find out what the root password is ? I connected to my server via PuTTY and I wanted to see what was in one of my kids shared folder and it told me permission denied. I know if I need temp access to root I can use the command su but I still dont know the password for it. During the installation procedure provided by Amahi tells you not to set a root password.

Thanks

You most likely did not set a root password. To become root user do:

Code: Select all

sudo su -
Enter your normal user password. You should now have root access.
