http://www.ubuntux.org – Hi guys, I recently loaded Ubuntu Server 32bit as i really want to learn about servers and how to make a pc log into a server etc. After about 8 attempts i got it installed and i boot up and it asks for a login? normal with Linux you use root in stead of admin. But no where when installing did it ask me for a "ROOT"password. it asked me for my password. so i tried black password and i tried the password for MY account and i tried rootmein (read that it was the default pw). I can login with my account. (dylan) now once i log in all i get is a command line. How do i get to act doing something or setting up some settings etc. Is there maybe a web interface which i can access it by or what? Please help. I am new to linux. I have set up ipcop a few times but that's mostly GUI. Thanks (Distributions)

Stories similar to Ubuntu Server 32 bit

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04. I installed with one user account, then added a second user account using the GUI dialog box method, making myself an Administrator type.

I now use the second user account. When using update manager and it needs to add or remove packages, it asks me for the "password for root" rather than my own password.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed and have read many articles on finding a way to change the admin password as i forgot it after installing it a while ago. I have 2 users on this comp which i know the pass to 1 but the admin 1st user i can no longer get into. I have tried many ways like going through grub, root and trying to unmount.

I reset the password for sa for ms sql 2008 R2.

I can login using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio with the account sa with the new password.

However, when I go to update the servers (sharepoint) that uses the account, they get bad login (bad password) for sa.

I have tried multiple different ways to reset the sa password and restart the service, but so far no luck.

Why is it still giving

There is a user account that someone set up on one of our database servers long ago, that no-one any longer knows the password for. However some apps have the password (for various reasons we cannot recover the password from the apps).

We have just deployed a couple of Linux server. Each sysadmin will have his own account on the server (i.e.: jsmith), and will connect using SSH with a certificate which will be put into the "authorized_keys" file in their home directory.

I just installed ubuntu on my netbook and am loving it!!

What I’m now trying to do is set up my root account. I tried to run the following command at a command prompt:

su root

and use the password for the main account i set up during the install process. but that didn't work.

[ubuntu] Root password 1 year 18 weeks ago

Hi all, I have a big problem. I'm using Ubuntu Server Edition 11.04 in my work. It was everything working fine until I try to export the users from another server. No, I don´t know the root password (and i have activated and set the root password previously :( ) Anyone knows a way to reset the root password?

Up until recently my mother has been using the Guest Session when she logs on; now, the Guest Session will not login.
