Quick Help Needed - Ubuntu

[Talbs13]

Hello,

Ive just installed Ubuntu, and i created my username/password on install as root and my password, i get to login and it says.

"The system administrator is not allowed to login from this screen"

Ive tried my name i set up but nothing.

This is really weird - Plus i am a newb at linux! HAR!

Cheers.

With Ubuntu they've disabled the root login, so you'd have to use sudo from your normal account (that doesn't stop the account for root being changed!).

Use a normal account such as your name, leave root for those jobs you really need it for.

Thanks, The problem i think i had was i set my USERNAME as root. I went into the recovery and added a user and then added that username to the admin group with

addgroup username admin

Thanks
