How do I make Linux accept the "root" password instead using sudo with user's password?
-
Is is it possible to make linux (Ubuntu) accept a root password for sudo, that is actually different from using the user's account password? In the case of user being administrator? Or should create a separate account, and only use the admin to use sudo commands? I'm trying to make the transition from n00b user, to get some experience. I can't remain n00b forever! Please help

Answer:
Open a Terminal and type in sudo passwd root enter a new password and then you can totally use the root account like normal and to put it back the way it was: sudo passwd -l root
