How do I login as root in Debian?

To run a command with root access, type in sudo and enter the desired command. Enter the user’s password, and the terminal shows the contents of the root directory. You only need to enter the password once in the same session. Now you know how to add a user with sudo privileges on Debian.

What is the default password for Debian?

There is no default account / password in Debian. If no password was provided, no root account is enabled and the password of the first user created will be used for administration tasks. Therefore you should log using the user you have created during the installation setup.
