Hi guys,

Thanks

What i am trying to achieve is; when executing 

# sudo make install

Password:*********

this password entered is root password.

it gives is error

Sorry, try again.

but when i do a su - and then gave the same root password. I am able to switch account to user.

You don't use root's password, you use your own password.

This assumes you have an entry in /etc/sudoers for your account.
