In order to "get root" on a Unix-derived machine, the standard way is to log in using the username "root", and the password for the root account. This is roughly equivalent to the "Administrator" account on Windows NT-derived operating systems. Some systems do not allow the "root" user to log in directly (this is common for system accessible over the internet), and require you to first log in as an ordinary user, and then use the "su" command to become root. So once you have logged in to a system as an ordinary user, enter the command "su" and type in the password for the root account when prompted. It is not wise to be root all the time, as illustrated in the following article: http://www.cse.psu.edu/~groenvel/root-shell.html Or, perhaps this is what you were looking for: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/sysadmin/280d/ If you would care to clarify your question, I will happily clarify my answer. |

I believe you might be referring to root access on a Unix or Linux computer. Having root privileges means you have administrative access to the server or workstation. Some programs may require you to have root access in order to install or run them. |
