Set the root password

This guide explains how to properly configure the Raspberry Pi to use the root user with the RaspController application

If you not already did it, you would type in your Raspberry Pi terminal:
sudo passwd root
and enter desired password.

SSH

To allow SSH commands with root user type in your Raspberry Pi terminal:
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

and change the line (remove also the # symbol):
PermitRootLogin yes

At the end save the content of the file pressing CTRL + X (to exit from nano), respond “Yes” at the request of saving, then confirm with ENTER.

Finally reboot the Raspberry Pi.

RaspController

Make sure that the device created on RaspController has the user: ‘root’ and password: the root password set on Raspberry Pi (step 1).
