+ <literal>root</literal> 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 serious mistake as a regular user, the worst that can

+ the system. You can override it and change the <guimenu>Login
+ Name</guimenu>. 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
+ <literal>root</literal> password, but that's no reason to neglect it by
