Hi, I need access to everything on my PI.
Right now I can't copy any files, or edit any config.txt files. It won't let me save them.
Anyone who can help me, please do, I would really appreciate it tremendously.
Thank in advance,
Bill Garber
sudo is your friend.
sudo is your friend:
sudo nano config.txt

Set root passwd ================ sudo passwd root
Become root =========== then su -
and log in as root.

I also come from the "login as root and get on with it" school, and find prefixing every command with sudo tedious, I don't own a Pi, so when I asked to look at issues with them, I tend to just use
sudo su -
as a temporary way to let me do stuff my way, without getting the owner into "bad" habits ...
You can get both: Do not set up a root account, and in case of need do sudo bash.

That's so last century.
Thanks everyone, but it was just this simple:
login: root
set and confirm password
exit
login as root with password
This is safe since it's being used as a closed system.
Thank you all again.
