    Root login

    Here's an easy one for you. I installed 6.06 official and I have no recollection of setting a root password so I have no way of making changes or even moving files.
    How do I login as 'root'?

    We use sudo for admin tasks

    You simply use the password of the first user you created for anything requiring admin privileges
