Many of you (geeks) that worked in Ubuntu platform.If not, check out this post for some root commands for Ubuntu or any Linux terminal.Linux is not so user friendly as windows.It mostly deals with the terminal commands.Therefore here are some commands for the superuser or (root):

sudo -i                   (enabling root account)
sudo passwd root          (change or set sudo password)
sudo passwd -dl root      (disabling root account)
sudo -k                   (make sure sudo asks for password every time)
sudo -i -u <username>     (login with different account)

Here sudo means “superuser do”.

Hope you like it.Comment your queries.
