3. In fact, the root account exists, but we just need to set a password for it, then log in with the root user name when using it, and then enter the corresponding password to log in as the root user. So opening the root account is actually the process of setting a password for the root user. Next, we will set the password for the root. In addition, we need to pay attention to Only user accounts created during secure ubuntu systems can be enabled for root accounts.

Use the following command to set a password for the root account:

Sudo passwd root

After executing the above command, you will be prompted to enter the password of the current user

4. After confirming that our password is correct, we will prompt "Enter new UNIX password". This is the prompt for setting the password. Enter the password we want to set. Note that we can't see any characters when setting the password, only we can pay attention to it.

5. Enter the password and hit the enter key, after which we will be prompted to reconfirm the password, enter the confirmation password, and then press Enter enter key
