Asked By Amato V Patterson 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/17/2019

I have a UNIX operating system, and I often come across this error “EPERM”, whenever I try to change the password for another account. Can someone suggest me ways on how to change administrator privileges and what exactly this error means?

Error Commands In UNIX Operating System

EPERM  is one of the most common error you will come across when you are trying to do something where you do not have the permission to do so, like trying to kill another process or running a command that you do not have permission for.

If you want to have administrator privileges in the UNIX operating system then do the following:

Usually, if you are not root then you cannot have administrative privileges unless you know the password for the root directory. If you do know the password then you can run as root using the “Sudo” command. Type “sudo” in front of the command and enter the password when you are prompted to.
