webohI have a destop version of Kubuntu, and I have a password ass administrator. But I think I lack a root password. How do I make a root password?01:27
krytarikYou don't.01:28
krytarik!root01:28
ubottuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo01:28
webohthat is just great, but if I can't make a root password; I can't use mysql. thank you01:30
oerheks1st account created is that root administrator, so use 'sudo <command>'01:31
