Why are all logins disabled in the virtual terminal after enabling root account from desktop?
- by Mitch
Just for testing purposes, I went a head and enabled the root account, by using the commands below:
sudo passwd root
[sudo] password for abed:
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
Once that happened, I went ahead and did Ctrl+Alt+F1, to get to the first virtual console, and at the login prompt I try logging in as abed, su, root, all comeback with login incorrect. Why is that happening, and how can I fix it.
