RE: root in FC 10

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi
 
I had the same problem
 
do this...  got this from this group earlier and it worked for me

su - root
password: <whatever it is>

edit /etc/pam.d
vi /etc/pam.d (or use your favorite editor)
look for a line that has:
user != root (or something like that)
comment out the line, or delete it...

save the file, log out, log back in, end you should be able to access as
root...
