How to create a password for root?

[tiki28]

I would like to create a root password and some user how?

I think you can create a log in password this way:

- find the file /root/.xinitrc and open it with a text editor (Geany)

- add this at the end of the file:

/usr/local/apps/Xlock/AppRun &
exec $CURRENTWM

- Now save it and go to the desktop, click on Xlock and set a password.

- Reboot and password should be set

To create a password for root type "passwd" in a terminal. To create another user type "adduser" plus the name of the user you want to add. However, Puppy currently is not able to take full advantage of multiple users and instead runs most programs as root.
