you can find the accounts using 'ls /home'

the root account has the username root not Root

minicom wants to save its configuration in /etc/minicom/minirc.xxx you 
must create this default config using

su minicom -s

(supply the root password when asked), then be sure to save the config 
'as default'.

Last, users can create and modify their own per-port configs. You must 
save each config with a name.
