Answer 1

Hi,

When you use sudo su in a Linux or Unix-based system, it typically prompts for your user password, not a separate sudo su password. This is assuming that your user account has the necessary privileges to execute the sudo command.

Here's how it usually works:

1. You run the command sudo su in the terminal.
2. The system prompts you to enter your user password.
3. If your password is correct and your user account has the necessary sudo privileges, the system elevates your privileges and gives you a root shell.
