Correction: In the Basic Education chapter in the section on using "sudo bash" it should say to enter the password "for your user".


In this book I will ask you to open a terminal to elevate your privileges.
This is done by entering this in a terminal:

>sudo bash

By the way, you do not enter the '>' greater than sign.
It is there for looks so you will know that this piece of text is to be entered into a terminal.

You will be asked for a password:

The password to enter is the password *for your user.*



*Instead of *"The password to enter is your user password that you picked while installing Linux Mint.". This is only true if you have one user or if you have booted into recovery mode.
