It can be as easy as 'su root' or even root by default when you run a shell such as 'bash' within it. However, sometimes, it's not that easy. You need to work hard for it. My issues where the following: su command won't work as it's just a symlink to busybox: 1~ $ ls -l `which su` 2lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Oct 21 2020 /bin/su -> /bin/busybox No known root password or sudo is not possible Solution su problem - create a copy of /bin/busybox to somewhere you can modify permissions.
