Re: mount path

No. Making changes to the mounted filesystems requires the root user ID.

Re: mount path

Only super user can mount remote and local filesystems.
You need root access to do that

Hi

If you dont know the root password only other way is if there is another id with root priveleges.

HI Addendum,

You need root access to mount that. Or root equivalent access with uid 0.

Or if you have sudo root access , you can do without requiring password. $ sudo su - , will take you to # prompt.
