Logging in to Corel LINUX as the system administrator
In Linux, the account used for system administration is called root. By logging in to your computer as the root user, you have unlimited privileges; you can add and delete user accounts, change user privileges, access all files, and configure Corel LINUX. For security reasons, you should set a password for the root account the first time you log in as the system administrator. For more information about using the root account, see "Managing Corel LINUX systems."
To log in to Corel LINUX as the system administrator for the first time
1. Start your computer.
2. Choose Corel LINUX as the operating system you want to use.
3. Select the root (Administrator) in the User Name list box, and click Login.
4. From the Control Center window, type a password in the New Password box.

Note
The root user has unlimited privileges. For security reasons, guard the root account's password with care. The root account for the system administrator is created automatically during installation.
Passwords must contain at least five characters but no more than eight. They can contain letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. A secure password should contain a combination of these characters. Passwords are case sensitive.
