title: Windows 10 - Bash (Ubuntu) SU (Root Password)
body: <p>Recently updated to Windows 10, installed Ubuntu Bash. Wanted to start configuring, But I have hit a wall already. </p>
  
  <p>When installed, you are asked for a username and password for your account. 
  This creates a user level.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to access to root user, SU?</p>
  
  <p>Every time I try, it asks for a password, and none of the accounts on the PC work (i.e., Windows 10 admin account password does not work). Tried default passwords too etc., all fail. </p>
  
  <p>The reason for it is when looking at the users home directory: When creating a file, it creates it under my Windows User Account (Permissions).</p>
  
  <p>But when I view files created from Bash, they are created for Root user.</p>
  
  <p>So this is the confusion, I modified <code>bashrc</code> and it's no longer owned by root, So it's not accessible. </p>
  
  <p>But I cannot login to root to create or modify the files. </p>
  
  <p>Am I being a complete noob or something?

  <p>When <code>bashrc</code> is not owned by Root, when loading <code>Bash.exe</code>, I get <code>.bashrc Input/output error</code>. </p>
