How to exit debian server terminal?

I have an situation that are quite strange to me. I am not able to exit the server terminal and enter back into my home computer terminal by the command
Code:
exit

like I used to be able to exit the server terminal with before. I end up into my root shell again without even typing the root password like I usually type
Code:
su

for accessing the root shell after having confirmed the root password.

I just checked to find out how the terminal were replying for adding and example for the situation but the situation seemed to be different while I now tried again. I guess I am not in the need of an solution right away other than to the experience of not understanding the situation that now seem to be solved.


Regards Jonathan Sander Stensvold Hol.
