Root

[FateZero]

I have tried to log in as root threw telnet or ssh on my server but the root password they sent me does not work what do I do to fix this and log in. thanks.

First off, telnet is disabled on the servers. When you log in via SSH, you must log in with your username and password....then you can su to root. :)

At the command prompt you type:

su - <enter>

Then when prompted, enter your root password. :)
