RaQ4R. How can I change the root password (in SSH) so it is different to
the RaQ admin password please?
Log in as admin, type:
su <enter>
I honestly don't remember if it asks for your password at this point if they
are the same but if it does, go ahead and give your admin password.. once
you are logged as root, type:
passwd <enter>
you will then be prompted for your new password and that's about it..
Make it sort of cryptic (mix letters, number, symbols) and WRITE IT DOWN..
in a safe location, of course.
