Cannot SU

like the subject says.

When i am logged in as an oridnary user, the su command is accepted, but won't accept the password. i assume the su password is the same as the root password, isn't it.

could it be i forgot something when creating the user account, or has the su password to be created elsewhere.

Thanx !

Thanks, i'll read them.
With my own nedlinux forum i' am used to search the forum first, but i didn't get any hits on this topic in this forum. (maybe wrong word used)

I know its boring to type the same answer a 1000 times.
