   <secondary>root</secondary></indexterm> <literal>root</literal> password. <literal>Root</literal> is the
system administrator and is the only one authorized to make updates, add
users, change the overall system configuration, and so on. In short,
<literal>root</literal> can do everything! That is why you must choose a
password that is difficult to guess – <application>DrakX</application> will
tell you if the password that you chose is too easy. As you can see, you are
not forced to enter a password, but we strongly advise you against.
<application>GNU/Linux</application> is as prone to operator error as any
other operating system.  Since <literal>root</literal> 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 <literal>root</literal>.</para>

too easy to compromise a system.</para>

    <para xml:id="BId-drakx-MNF-pa52">One caveat –– do not make the password too long or complicated because you

the default and change the username. The next step is to enter a
