Yesterday I changed the root password on Ubuntu because I thought that someone else was going to pick up the computer and install Windows XP, but he decided not to come which is fine, and I decided to install VMWare server from the Ubuntu commercial archives. However, my new root password no longer works from the GUI (GNOME). I can bring up a virtual terminal and log into root fine. The new root password is 8 characters consisting of upper, lower, and numbers.=20 Note that I had powered down the system from the time I reset the passwords. As I mentioned, the password works fine logging in to a virtual terminal as root, just not for administrative tasks from GNOME.=20 --=20 Jerry Feldman <gaf-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
