I bought a server on godaddy. When configuring user information, I filled in other user names and passwords, but did not fill in the root user name. Now I want to switch to the root account. How to deal with it? Please give me some advice!

First determine which version of the system it is? If it is Ubuntu, use the command sudo su
to enter the password to switch to the root account. Other versions should be similar.
Generally, you do not use the root account directly. You can configure the user you set to have higher permissions and use this account normally.
