Retype your root password and click '''Done''' (you may have to click Done <u>twice</u> if your password is not considered to be a strong password).#You need to create a regular user account. This account will be used to graphical log into your host machine. It is never recommended to graphically log into a graphical Linux/Unix system as root. It is better to log into a regular user account, then run a command with temporarily elevated privileges (you will learn how to do this later in this lab).#Click '''User Creation''' and enter your '''full name''', '''username''', and an appropriate '''password''' (and confirm password). Make sure the box labelled 'Make this user administrator' is checked. Click '''Done''' to finish (click twice if password is not considered to be a strong password).<br><br>{|width="50%" cellspacing="0" |- valign="top" |{{Admon/important|Keep the root password the same for Host and VMs|In order to simplify running the lab checking scripts in future labs, using the same root password for ALL machines (c7host and virtual machines).
