# Question about root user

## post by jfh_lambda on Feb 12, 2021

I just bought a deep learning workstation. It works smoothly. Thanks Lambda guys to make things simpler and smooth.

I have one question: there is a root user in the workstation. I assume it is pre-setup by lambda. Should I do something to the root user, e.g., changing password, etc for the safety/security of the machine?
