Root username is different to admin username
- by Chris Poole
I have somehow changed my root username which seems to have caused my system to disallow me to mount USB, CDROM.
My normal username is jenchris, however if I type:
su root (and enter the password)
then it shows root@jenchris-H55M-UD2H:/home/jenchris# (PLEASE NOTE THE HASH AT THE END OF THE USERNAME!)
I think I accidentally hit the hash key at some point whilst typing my username....
This is causing huge problems as I have lost lots of permissions, please can someone help?
