- very easy to log in as <code class="literal">root</code> to do anything and
- everything, it may also be very dangerous! A very simple mistake
- could mean that your system won't work any more. If you make a

- Name</span>. The next step is to enter a password. From a
- security point of view, a non-privileged (regular) user's password
- is not as crucial as the <code class="literal">root</code> password, but
