OK. In my experience it worked with any user account. I would install, create an account, and immediately use sudo to change the root password.

- TheDong 7y agoThe first user account is considered an administrator account on most distros by default, so it has sudo privileges. If you can do what you said with a non-wheel/sudo account, that would be a serious vulnerability.
- ShinTakuya 7y agoAlternatively, it's possible the distro added the first user account to wheel also. I believe I've seen that in the past.
- Godel_unicode 7y agoHow do you think that's different than the comment to which you replied?
- code_duck 7y agoI see, thanks. I posted hoping people would inform me about this.
