Creating a new User and Password on Linux

One of the first rules in any linux manual is a request not to work with the root user. As such we want to create a new user with the same powers as the root leaving us a way to log into our root in the future if we need (as an emergency user). As such we want to create a new user. In this session we will use two linux commands the passwd and the adduser to create a new user and give them a good password to keep our user safer from hackers.
