Can anyone help me hint on how to get into Ubuntu "root"
 

Hello Everyone
I want to get in to root in ubuntu and this is guest OS on my computer
When i say "sudo" it is replying "operation not permitted". Can anyone helpme get into the root? thanks in advance

When Ubuntu is installed, the first user it asks you to create during the install is normally given full sudo rights.
Did you install this?

At least two avenues exist -- via GRUB and via LiveCD
Search on < reset your password +How-to geek >
in google or ixquick or another search engine.

sudo su -> then enter your password

then passwd

but it's kinda redundant with sudo su

Rather than using you should use to get a root shell.
Also, have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

That's what I've always done on Ubunutu systems sudo su then passwd..

Thank you so much all..

Thanks a lot, I will explore all possibilities as all you guys suggested and get back to your help in case of any trouble! cheers...
