TIPS: After Ubuntu is installed, you suddenly realize that you have not set the root password. If you do not know the password, you will not be able to access the root user. I searched the internet and found out why. The Default Root Password of Ubuntu is random, that is, a new root password is generated every time you start the system. Enter the sudo passwd command on the terminal, enter the password of the current user, enter, and confirm. The new password is the new root password. After the modification is successful, enter the command su root and then enter the new password.
