I tried to login as root user but couldn’t. Root user is also referred to as Super user which has every privilege available in Linux. I thought there must be some bug in the version that I installed.
When we try to su and give the root password, it would state authentication failure. As per the Ubuntu documentation, this is because the root account is locked in Ubuntu. But we can run commands with root level privileges using sudo command. This will prompt for a password which is nothing but your User password.
You can find the complete information on various aspects of Root user at this link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo.
