In Ubuntu I have one normal user root1. And till now when I want to be a root I do:

root1@host:/home/root1$ sudo su
[ sudo ] password for roo1:

type password and I had:

root@host:/root:#

but now I type a password and get

root1@host:/home/root1$ 

but without info about wrong password or any clue. If I put wrong password I obviously get info about that.

So What is wrong?

when you use "sudo", you must type the user password (and not the root password)

And you need add this user in the sudoers list (execute visudo or edit /etc/sudoers)
