Sometimes, you'll be asked to open a Terminal window, and become root.
To do that, on the HDA itself, go in the Applications menu, and select System > Terminal.
To do that from a remote computer, [[SSHtoHDA|SSH into your HDA]].
Once the Terminal window is open, type the following command:
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px;">
<strong>su -</strong>
</div>
You'll be asked for the root password:
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px;">
[gb@hda ~]$ <strong>su -</strong><br/>
<strong style="color:red">Password: </strong>
</div>
You now have a Terminal open, and you're logged as root:
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px;">
[gb@hda ~]$ <strong>su -</strong><br/>
Password: <br/>
[<strong style="color:red">root</strong>@hda ~]#
</div>
