Switch to the root user using the input below.

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
[sudo] password for <username>:【password】
Confirm that you have switched to the root user.
[root@<hostname > ~]#
If “#” is at the end, you are now the root user.
