Raspbian “wheezy” root password?

If you buy Raspberry Pi and download Raspbian “wheezy” image then dd it on your SD card,you will be allowed to login using username pi and password raspberry
Using sudo will enable you to do all you want.If you are annoyed to use sudo every time, and would like to have root access then, do below

# vipw
change line
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
to
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
after this change reboot Raspberry Pi and after boot,enter root as username,press enter and you will have root access.After this change root password and you can now login directly as root.This is not rocket science,but could be useful for some Raspeberry Pi users
