Hi,<br><br>I installed CentOS 4.8 on VMware Fusion 3.1.2. The installation was fine. During the installation, it asked me to enter my username and password. I tried to enter &quot;root&quot; as the username, but it was not allowed. So I had to enter other name for that. <br>



<br>After I logged into CentOS 4.8, I could not do sudo because I was a regular user. Could somebody tell me how I can become root?<br><br>Thank you.<br>Jerry<br>
