Wrong password for administrator actions
Asked by
David Wilson
I recently installed Ubuntu 6.06 and am using GNOME. I created a single user during installation. I am able to log in as this user and the first time I was able to the Synaptic Package Manager to get and install updates. However, now when I try to use this or any other adminstrator function, I get a "Wrong password" error after entering my password.
I was able to verify my password by opening a terminal window and typing "sudo -s". After entering my password, I did see the # prompt.
Any ideas why my password is being rejected?
Thanks!
