SSH root login on Ubuntu 18.04 / Linux
If you have installed a server based on the Ubuntu 18.04 operating system, root access is passive with the installation.
In this article, we tried to explain how to open root access on Ubuntu in 4 easy steps.
1 - Since our server is newly installed, we first need to create a password for root, after logging into the server normally, let's follow the steps below.
〉 The first command we need to type is;
sudo passwd |
Enter ↵
〉 〉 Then the password of the first created normal user is entered on the screen that appears as follows
Enter ↵
〉 〉 〉 Create a password for root and confirm by entering it twice
Enter ↵
Enter ↵
〉 〉 〉 〉 If you have seen the text below, the password for root has been set successfully
2 - Now we need to edit the necessary permissions to login to root login via SSH, we will provide this by typing the code below into the terminal
sudo sed -i 's/#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config |
Enter ↵
3 - Finally, we confirm the transactions by performing SSH Restart.
sudo service ssh restart |
Enter ↵
4 - Your transactions have been successfully completed! You can now have full access to your server with root and the password you set over SSH.
