Code:
chmod u+s /bin/su
after trying this it did work (su - and then later entering the password which i set for root makes me root). Thanks alot.
but a slight problem here.
earlier when i was trying to use sudo su -
it was asking for a password (however it was not accepting the paasword) but now if i try to do sudo su -
it says
sorry, user user is not allowed to execute '/bin/su -' as root on Nokia-900.
i am pretty sure this wasnt the case earlier.
can u help me with this as well sir.
