I am trying to use the su/sudo command to switch to a regular user. It asks me for a password and I enter the admin password then it says su: Authentication failure:


walter@walter-VirtualBox:~/testdir$ su
Password:
su: Authentication failure
walter@walter-VirtualBox:~/testdir$

How can I switch to my regular user? What is the problem?

To enter type sudo -i.
