I am so happy, Bruce.  I got the password I wanted in Root.  Will that 
also log me in?
When I need a Root shell, or to get into Adept Package Manager, will it 
work there?
I did not understand this instruction before.  I tried it now just to 
see if it might work.
Thanks.

Cheers! Ciao Bello, and Cordially,
