Sorry if this sounds like a total noob question but I simply can't find the option in the GUI. YES, I know I can do it from the console but I am led to believe there is an option to do it from the GUI.

I assumed that if I change the password via the command line while logged in with SSH that will not sync with the WebGUI?

P.S. Yes I have searched, yet found nothing relevant.

Account --> Users --> select the root user --> modify user (button at the bottom) ;)

In the OP's defense, this is not at all obvious. :)

Thanks :smile:

I am still not sure if changing via SSH syncs the password with the GUI user but Account --> Users --> root worked!

Btw. before asking here I tried: Account --> Groups, stumped I couldn't find root I even searched the page with CTRL+F then posted here :smile:
I simply might need some more sleep to realise root is a user not a group!
