If you have the root password, try the following.
$ su - root
When prompted, enter the root password.
sudo is to permit regular users to run priviledged commands. What you
are trying td is overly complex and redundant.

Hello all... look... I have a trouble with this... I've set up sudo
in order to be able to do su - to another user in the system... in
this case "root". I typed "sudo su -" I've put my password correctly
3 times... and i got this:
arlv810g@sigdbprd:/home/arlv810g> sudo su -
root's password:
Sorry, try again.

sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts

I insist, the password I've typed is correctly typed... but I got
that error.
Does anybody know what is wrong with it?...
Thanks in advance.
