Issue
Hello I am just starting with linux and I am going through the hardening process, I have set up a password for my sudo account and changed the root default password.
The problem is that when I access ssh with my sudo account, the only password that accepts is the default root password.
I tried changing the password after accessing with the default root one but it tells me that the new password is the current password.
How can I fix this? :(
Thanks in advance <3
Solution
Create a new account with admin privileges and set your password to that account. By default root is meant not to have a password to prevent you logging in as root.
