The root password seems to be different from the password entered for the user account created when loading Ubuntu. Is there any way of getting it or is known only to the Kernal Maintainers?
"Assuming Ubuntu, which is what I'm more familiar with, at the command prompt, type:- sudo pppconfig You should then be prompted for your password if running from the account you used to set up the system." Perhaps I should have made it clearer ... "your" NOT "root". So far, I've not needed to know the root password on my system, and by being able to use "sudo su -" to become root, there should be no need to. Michael
