You must type the root password in perfect sequence. Do not use the Backspace
or Delete keys to make a correction.

If you have made a typing mistake, simply press Enter and begin at Step 1 again.

Note

The ampersand (&) at the end of this command is critical. From this point forward
wherever that character is shown in the instructions, you must type it.

Note

The last character in this command is a zero (0) not an upper-case O. Unless
specified, assume every character of this type is a zero.
