This may ask your password, and then the new password for root. The root user has now a password set, but it’s not enough to access your Raspberry Pi with this account directly. We remove the # to enable this option (# = comment). And then change the value to “yes” to allow direct login with password.
Can a Raspberry Pi be used as an administrator?
