I don't see anything on here asking for a root password, so you must be 
referring to somewhere else.

I'll tell you what. I wouldn't give out a root password either. I think, 
though, the reason it was asked for was you were proving to be so inept 
that it was wanted so the problem could be fixed and you would stop 
with your shenanigans on that issue.

If you would use the suggestions given, so you have a base to work from, 
you could then figure out how to put it in a script and run the script 
to your hearts content. But until you have that base to work from, a 
whole lot of you're scripts aren't going to work the way you want them 
to.

Before you can run, you learn to walk; before you walk, you learn to 
stand; before you stand, you learn to crawl; before you crawl, you 
learn to sit up; before you learn to sit up, you lay there and shit in 
your diapers. I'm not sure exactly were you are, but I know it's not at 
the run stage.
