Re: log in as root.

Hi Juan,

Its simple - when you log in just type the word ROOT in the user box and
then the password you entered as the root password when you installed the
BDI.
Root is the system administrator level of the system and so, while you are
logged in as Root, you can get at, change - and mess up - any part of the
system! It gives you ultimate power so always back up anything you intend to
change before you alter it.

Best wishes,
Ian
