configuring your Linux workstation

setting the root password (required)

By default, the root user has the password “hplinux.” Before you exit, you must set your own root password. The Linux Setup Tool enforces this. Click on the “Root Password” tab at the top of the Setup Tool window. This brings up the window shown below.

Choose a password, according to the directions in the window, and type it in the “Enter root password” box. Asterisks appear in the box, instead of what you type. Type your password again in the “Enter password again” box. Once you have completed setting the functionality for this tab, you can go to the next tab.

Do not click on the Save button until you have setup all workstation functionality as this will exit you from the Linux Setup Tool.

Write your password down and keep it in a secure place. If you forget it, you will not be able to log in to your workstation.
