Note : By default Ubuntu don’t allow logins by the root user. However, the user created at system installation time can use sudo to switch to root. Webmin will allow any user who has this sudo capability to login with full root privileges. If you plan to enable root Login on Ubuntu 14.04, kindly follow this steps on How to Enable Root Login on Ubuntu 14.04<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
