First time I ever saw that # is root. A bit cryptic, but you can come out of your room. :-)

because root owns it. you users are locked out, just like a different user cannot get into someone elses home.
root can do anything though
go su or try sudo, better yet do this
Code:
su - <-- don't forget the hyphen
password
then
pwd
