openSUSE community - default root password
Sudo runs a single command with root privileges. When you execute sudo command, the system prompts you for your current user account's password before running command as the root user. By default, Ubuntu remembers the password for fifteen minutes and won't ask for a password again until the fifteen minutes are up. On Linux systems, there is no default password set. To set the default password: Run the psql command from the postgres user account: sudo -u postgres psql postgres. Set the password: \password postgres. Enter a password. Close psql. \q. By default, sudo needs that a user authenticates using a password before running a command. Some times you may need to run a command with root privileges, but you do not want to type a password using sudo command. This is useful for scripting or any other purpose. This can be achieved by editing /etc/sudoers file and setting up correct entries. Here we are including a file called secret which will contain our sudo password. We will use ansible-vault to create an encrypted version of this file: ansible-vault create secret This will ask you for a password, then open your default editor to edit the file. You can put your ansible_sudo_pass in here. e.g.: secret: ansible_sudo_pass The same method can be used if you have forgotten your root password. But you can only do it from a user that is a member of the sudo group. That is a member that can use the sudo command. So this is a workaround Linux Mint default password. Since there isn't any. If you need to download Linux Mint, please go to their official web page. A little tip, if you have access to sudo, i.e. you are an admin account and know your account password, but don't know the root password anymore you can usually get by with the following command to "become" root.
The default timeout for the password is 15 minutes (in Ubuntu Linux). Which means that you’ll have to enter the password again if you run a command with sudo after fifteen minutes. Some users may find it cumbersome to enter the password all the time.
