*HINT* The "blank" program will allow a user to temporarily take on the privileges of the
root account to run a command and then it will drop user privilege level back down to your
normal account levels after the command runs. The way "blank" works is there is a
configuration file called "sudoers" file, which basically a list of which accounts are allowed to
do what with superuser privileges (and only root can edit it). When a user wants to run a
command with privileges, they append "blank" before the command. They will then be
prompted for their normal account password (not the root password), and then the
command will run with super user privileges. -

ANSWER✅

sudo
