what stuff are you doing?  If it's stuff from the command line, just type sudo su or sudo -u root PROGRAM

sudo su makes you root until you close the terminal window.  sudo -u root PROGRAM is just for that program

it does have a password, I guessed it the other day.

It's like <snip> or <snip> or something.
