Hi everyone,
I have a situation here
the "sudo gain root" command in terminal asks for password, and I have no idea what to do! I previously installed the rootsh and it worked fine to install .deb files, and today I tried it to no avail as it wants a password.
Please share suggestions. Thanks!

There is no space in "gainroot" - the command is:

Code:
sudo gainroot

Thanks so much!
Apparently I was following instructions from a different website this time and it was spelled with space.
