Root Password Administration

In addition to regular user accounts, which are created with the User Accounts
module, there is a superuser account that has special privileges when it
accesses the Netra server. This account is called root. When the Netra server is
accessed by the root user, many of the restrictions that apply to regular user
accounts are removed. For example, the root user can read, write, or delete any
file, or change the system configuration. To protect these privileges, the root
account also has a password.
A password can be composed of any combination of characters.
