How to change user in Mint
« on: February 08, 2010, 06:21:45 PM »
I installed Mint and It created me as a temporary user with no privileges. How do I change to a root user with admin privileges?

    Hello,

    Myself never tried Mint but then you always have sudo. Not a very good idea to mess around the desktop of root.

    If you need to add more users, use useradd.
