Because of the security implications of root access,
Linuxconf requires you to verify that you
currently have access to the root account.
You'll first need to enter the current root password to verify access to
the root account.
Once you have entered the current root password, you will be prompted
for a new password. In the Confirmation field,
type the password again. This is to prevent you from mistyping the
password. See the section called Adding a User Account if you need
guidance on choosing a password. Be sure to choose a good password! If
you decide against changing the root password, just select
Cancel. Once you have entered the new password,
select Accept.
