terminal window. Alternatively, use sudo to execute the command below as root. See
“Executing a Command With sudo” on page 44.
As root (or administrator in Windows), type the following (where
someUserName is a
broadcaster user name of your choosing):
qtpasswd someUserName
You will be prompted for a password twice. After each prompt, enter the password for the
new user you are creating.

Executing a Command With sudo
If you are logged in as an administrator, you can use sudo to execute a command as if you
were the root user (administrator in Windows). This way you don’t have to enable the root
account to make changes that require root privileges.
