   become root user (sudo su) and then set a password for root (passwd). The   
   classic su will work afterwards. This is how I worked around that issue.

   Nope, the Pi 2 already was / is 64 bit but at that time no 64 bit distros   
   (aarch64) were avaialbe for it. (Open) SuSE were the first to come up with   
   that.    
      
   Hop this helps,
