Hi everyone!
I’m using
|Description:|Parrot 4.2.2|

I tried to use the command su, it asks me for password, then I enter my password and it’s give me this message
su: Authentication failure
I tried also to use other passwords like toor, parrot… but it doesn’t work

If you want to use ‘su’ then you need to set the password first.
I will say, i recommend just using ‘sudo’ where possible. You should not get into the habit of running su all of the time.
But anyway. To set the root / su password, type sudo passwd root
, enter your current password, then enter the ‘su’ password you want.
You can also remove the ‘su’ password using sudo passwd -d root
. Just saying.
