Yes that's normal ,but you can't get into root and make
core changes without root password.
There are a couple of ways to eliminate user's priviledge to
do so from root. Or setup a Adim password in your computer's
bios, and without that password you can't start the computer
if someone should reboot.
Are you a newbie? welcome to Linux.
