On my LL laptop, I have 3 accounts, one for me (the admin) and two others for two family members.
A family member was logged into his account, none of the other accounts were logged in. I needed to open one of his folders as admin (long story, he was there with me, I was doing this with his permission). So I right clicked on the folder and went to "Open As Administrator" and it asked for password, and I put in my root password. It said it was incorrect. I tried this several times, and I checked that caps lock was off. I can only conclude that it wasn't letting me open it as admin while logged in under his account instead of mine. Is that the expected behavior?

Using Linux Lite for everything now. I put it on my desktop and my laptop. Woohoo!
