Thanks for your patience Gary
All should be OK now after I figure out the password
Using 10.1 I managed to get away with just my initials as the password, not my usual one.
not so lucky with 13.1

Hi Ken,

If you have forgotten the root password you may have given yourself
administrative rights when you created your own login.

At the percent prompt try typing
% su
when it prompts you with
Password:
just type in the password you normally use for your own account.

With luck that you have administration rights, you will then become the super
user within that command terminal window.

Best regards

Gary
