What distribution are you running? In SuSe, i simply log out of kde, and then type root in the username box and enter the root password. Alternatively you could type su in a terminal, then enter the root password. This will give you super user priviledges.

I'm surprised you didn't already get a response, anyway, here's what you need to do:
FYI: A "$" denotes type the stuff after this in a terminal window, people will use this to show you how to do stuff along the way, just so you don't get confused. Code:
$ su Code:
$ exit |
