[sudo] password for bench:

[sudo] password for bench:

it is asking your linux user password

i am writing the linux password but it is not accessible

You will have to get your aministrator to change the password for the user.

login as root

passwd bench

i have loged as root. what i have to do afte that

passwd bench

and then input the new passwords

nothing works.

can you explain me step by step

If you are logged in as root, your screen should say (something like this)

root@root1-VirtualBox:~#

Then type in

passwd bench

It will ask you to input a new password for the user and press enter
Then it will ask you to re-input/confirm the password and press enter again.

That will update the user password to your new values, and you can then use that password in the config/install process
