Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Well, Puppy does not make difference beetween guest and root, everybody is root.
Much easier for us.
Others, like Porteus, Antix, and so on only can be modified by root.
If your are guest, go on their web site, they tell you the password for root.
Silly, no ?

They actually tell you the initial password for root.
That in itself is not silly.
When you install that version of linux, you are asked for a root password as well as a user name and password.
Both can be anything you want.
So that asked for root password may not work if you are trying to log into someone else's system as root!

And, of course, you can change your password via

Now I should say nothing but to my surprise puppy actually
have a password woofwoof that some have to use if them do
things that Barry did not think they would try out so I had used
Puppy for years before I suddenly needed the password.

I don't remember the user name though
