To unzip a file in Linux using the terminal, first ensure that the utility is installed on your system. If it’s not available, you can install it using your system’s package manager.
unzip
Once installed, you can extract the contents of a ZIP file by using theunzip
command followed by the file name, which will place the files in your current directory. If you want to extract the files to a specific location, you can provide the path to the desired directory. Before extracting, you can also list the contents of the ZIP file to review its files. In cases where files with the same name already exist in the destination, you can configure the process to overwrite them automatically, ensuring a smooth extraction. This method is straightforward and works efficiently for handling ZIP files in Linux. -
To change the root password in Linux, you can follow these steps based on your current access level:
If you already know the root password, open the terminal and switch to the root user by typing
su -
and entering the existing root password. Once logged in as root, use thepasswd
command to set a new password. You will be prompted to enter the new password twice for confirmation. After completing the process, exit the root session for security.If you don’t know the root password but have
sudo
privileges, you can change the root password directly by using the commandsudo passwd root
. Enter your user password when prompted, and then set a new root password as required.For cases where the root password is completely forgotten, you can reset it by booting into recovery mode or single-user mode. Access the GRUB menu during system startup, edit the boot parameters to include
init=/bin/bash
, and then boot into a shell environment. From there, remount the filesystem in read/write mode and use thepasswd
command to reset the root password. Reboot the system after resetting.Always use a strong password for root access and limit its use to essential administrative tasks for security purposes.

AdministratorDecember 21, 2024 at 5:06 pm in reply to: What is the best file permission option for the wordpress?For WordPress, use the following file permissions:
Set files to 644 so the owner can read and write, and others can only read
Set folders to 755 to allow the owner to read, write, and execute, while others can only read and execute.
For wp-config.php, use 444 or 444 to restrict access to the owner since it contains sensitive information
Make sure the files are owned by the account running the web server, such as www-data for Apache.
This setup keeps your site secure and functional.
