## Switch user
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If already logged in as a user you can switch users with the command `su - [username]`.

## Login as root
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are logged in as a standard user, if you use `su -` without specifying a username, then it will assume you wish to log in as root.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you wish to login as root in the tty at startup, then use `root` as the username.
