Hello, I need a root password to install my required programs. You didn't share the root password, Can you please share it?

I was able to change the pass word via logging in as root and change password for user ubuntu.

docker exec -u 0 -it remote-desktop /bin/bash # log in the container as root
passwd ubuntu # change password

Rather than the changing the password, I've found it better/easier to install sudo.

docker exec -u 0 -it remote-desktop /bin/bash    
apt update   
apt install sudo    
usermod -aG sudo ubuntu

Then logout and back in to the desktop and you can run root commands with sudo

sudo bash  
sudo apt update    
etc

Hi all,

There is no root password set, unless there's one set in the ubuntu image(s) (which I'm pretty sure it's not). I thought I'd already added sudo to this image - looks like I haven't though so I can do that.
