+
+
+ <p><a name="BId-drakxid-setRootPassword-pa1"></a>This is the
+ most crucial decision point for the security of your <span class="application">GNU/Linux</span>
+ system: you must enter the <code class="literal">root</code> password.
+ <code class="literal">Root</code> is the system administrator and is the
+ only user authorized to make updates, add users, change the
+ overall system configuration, and so on. In short,
+ <code class="literal">root</code> can do everything! That's why you must
+ choose a password which is difficult to guess: <span class="application">DrakX</span> will
+ tell you if the password you chose is too simple. You're not
+ forced to enter a password, but we <span class="emphasis"><em>strongly</em></span>
+ encourage you to do so. <span class="application">GNU/Linux</span> is just as prone to operator
+ error as any other operating system. Since <code class="literal">root</code>
+ can overcome all limitations and unintentionally erase all data on
+ partitions by carelessly accessing the partitions themselves, it
+ is important that it be difficult to become
+ <code class="literal">root</code>.
+ </p>
+
+
+
+
+ <p><a name="BId-drakxid-setRootPassword-pa2"></a>The password
+ should be a mixture of alphanumeric characters and at least 8
+ characters long. Never write down <code class="literal">root</code>'s
+ password&nbsp;&#8212; it makes it far too easy to compromise your
+ system.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p><a name="BId-drakxid-setRootPassword-pa3"></a>One caveat: don't make
+ the password too long or too complicated because you must be able to
+ remember it!
+ </p>
+
+
+
+
+ <p><a name="BId-drakxid-setRootPassword-pa4"></a>The password
+ won't be displayed on screen as you type it. To reduce the chance of
+ a blind typing error you will need to enter the password twice. If
+ you do happen to make the same typing error twice, you will have to
+ use this <span class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">incorrect</span>&#8221;</span> password when you try to connect
+ as <code class="literal">root</code>, at least for the first time.
+ </p>
+
+
+
+
