Why am I getting an authentication failure when I try to enter my 'root password?' What the heck is that anyway?
Asked by

Every time I type 'su' in the terminal, it asks me for my root password. When I enter the only password I know of on my PC, it gives me an 'authentication failure' message. What the heck is up with that?
