Once you have a root shell you create a password with the command: passwd
Jeff: Thanks for your response. Let me clarify my position. With my Linux box via ssh, I have been working in my N800 (and N770) root for years now. What I'm now trying to do is to access the same N800 root with my Windows pc, via Putty. I have therefore long since established user and root passwords through the passwd command. What I don't know what to do now is determine what log-in name to use to make Putty function. I'm not aware I have one, or have established one. Are we perhaps talking apples and oranges here?
