You are most likely not the owner of that drive. Try to chown it first.

There is no sudo password if you are running LL live.

I am running Linuxlite from a USB stick to fix a disc problem on a PC, but I cannot run "su" or "sudo" in a terminal because I do not have the superuser password.
Can someone tell me what it is?
Thanks
