How Can I change the Root Password?

Thank you Sir Mr AustinTexas
You are my hero


Can I make you a nice cup of tea Mr AustinTexas, you have saved an old man from doing a boring pointless task many times a day, with this increase in my productivity I might be able to retire early.

I was an early adopter of Ghost I found/prefered to install a quick back up rather than try to undo some messes I made, I've been running win7 for three years without any anti virus running, I just do backups with Macrium Reflect free edition, 10 minutes and I have my system back after disaster strikes.

With Debian linux I use saline-backup to clone the partition or create a backup file, it was written for Squeeze but still runs on Jessie with systemd, I want to try it on EvolveOS but Yad isn't in the repos yet, I suppose I could try it on Manjaro where the saline-backup dev moved to, it was unsettling when within 6 months Saline OS closed down and migrated away from Debian to Manjaro and Ikey closed down his Debian SolusOS and then built his own new Linux base, 2 guys I respect moving away from Debian starts you thinking about the future, wouldn't surprise me if Deepin moved from a Ubuntu base to Ikey's new base.



I'm in you debt Sir, big time, one of the main Linux irritations removed.


Freedom from the nanny at last, I can relax again and not be constantly irritated, my quality of life has improved.

There's always another problem though.
