Can't use su on my B3 user account

Post by spaceuser »

Hi!
As a newbie to my newly bought B3 I tried to use su to be able to have root privileges, but with no luck. I assume to be using the admin password when logon with su. It only returns with "su: Authentication failure". The account have shell access. I must be doing something wrong here, but what. I would appreciate any comment on this.

TIA

The admin user and the root user are two different user with different password. As Ubi said the default root password is "excito"

It seems I'm posting even when I'm not posting! Either that, or "Ubi" has become a substitute for "poster".

"Let me Ubi a response to that post first, and then I'll go and do the dishes"

weird...

Maybe people think it's just you and a bunch of sock-puppets running this show.

Cheers.

I think that Ubi-style response you posted some time ago gave away that you and me are really one person....

Well what can I say my multitasking does not seem to be what it once was. I liked it better where there where no tabs on the browser so you just read one thing at the time.

But on the other hand RandomUsername is quite similar to Ubi don't you think. At least on of the letter is the same :wink:

I do apologize if I offended any of you I just do not now how I did mix you up :oops:

Ryz, don't worry, we're just playing around. Sorry to hijack the thread with our nonsense...
