Default sudo password
-
I had a hard time finding this! When you open a terminal (or get an adb shell), you're the user "phablet". In the past the default password was "phablet" or "ubuntu". But with the latest UBports it'll be your screen unlock PIN (or, apparently, password, but I used the PIN option).
I'm posting this here in the hopes that somebody looking for this answer will find it quickly!

@vandys Sorry to demotivate you, but the terminal / root password was always the screen unlock PIN at least on my BQ E5 xD

Same here with my E5 and M10''s or at least it was when I downloaded file manager and wanted to go in the root. When I first read this I was not sure if I was missing something.

I was basing on:

and
https://askubuntu.com/questions/596368/what-is-the-default-root-password-for-current-ubuntu-touch
but if my posting seems too lame, please just have an admin delete it, NP.

@vandys I am always under the impression that no question is ever lame. If you are unsure about something, this is the place to ask it and no one should look down on you for taking the time to ask it. I ask loads of questions that more technical people may think are lame, but for me I do not understand it, so I ask

Thanks @vandys That was just what I was looking for. I am a new UBports user with a PinePhone and I am just getting my bearings.

Long: sudo always asked for the password of the logged in user who uses sudo. The user has to be in a sudo privileged group to use sudo.
Short: your own password.
