Ubuntu 16.04 Root User not found

I have installed the VMware workstation 10.Then Ubuntu 16.04 ISO file is mapped in it.The OS automatically installed in the vmware workstation.
I tried to log in to the root user but not able to do.
I have created the user in it but the root user is not able to login.How to go to root user ?? -
This guide here should help you to login as root.

-
@Lakshmana just going off of the screenshot I would guess there is a formatting error in
/etc/sudoersrun
sudo cat /etc/sudoersand output what is there.
-
@DustinB3403 Same error mentioned in the screenshot

Ubuntu does not use a root user by default.

Scott the trouble (as I understand it) is that even the user he created doesn't have root access.
-
Appears to be a corrupt sudoers file, take a look at the following link.
-
Does this work...
sudo -i su -
@tiagom I used 'pkexec bash' command where the root login done now
-
@Lakshmana Now I am able to login as Root user but unable to change the paasword.
I have provided the ssh port as 22 but the vm machine is not able to take the putty session in the windows 10 machine.The ip in the ubuntu is able to ping but network "Connection Refused" error is coming -
Is it installed?
-
@tiagom ssh server is conifugured in it.port 22 is taken from #
-
On Ubuntu run.... netstat -tulpn to see if port 22 is listening.
-
@scottalanmiller No 22 port is not listening
-
Might need to boot into single user mode and fix /etc/sudoers from there.
