Alternately you can see if you have sudo access and install the gems that way. It will take your login password. sudo gem install <gem name> B. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hello If you are a sudo user then you cannot get the password but yes you can set new password for root. use >> passwd root new password **** confirm new password **** then do su root password **** Not sure if this is what you are looking for.
