Hi leo5111 - good to hear from you again ... you are probably better off starting a new thread with a good description rather than tagging it onto this one ... I don't think the issues are really related. Someone was after some help on a avi to dvd script ... so you might want to search for that on the forums.

If you have forgotten the root password then use recovery mode option from the grub menu at boot time. This gives root access without a password ... then you can use passwd to set the password you want.

Your better off using sudo, if you get lazy then use sudo -s means you only enter the password and type sudo once for each terminal session (or until you type exit). Use gksu in GUI to run individual applications with root access.

i think was because i had just reinstalled and updates for linux had just been done and it had not rebooted because as soon as it rebooted i got in as root thanx though
