ward Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hey there, I've got a new dedicated server Fedora Core 8. The root password and the main user password are supposed to be the same, but they're not. I can ssh in using the main user, but if I su root and enter the password, it says it's invalid. Any ideas? Thanks, Ward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can change it from within your GoDaddy logon. The account management page has a link for changing the password on your box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ward Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks for the tips. Tried everything, but nothing is working. I'm thinking it's got to be a configuration issue when they set up the server. It's only a week old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
