How to switch to root mode in Linux?

Solved

Here,
I downloaded quite a few programs but to install them I need to switch to root mode and I can't manage to do it...
What should I do?
When I enter the root login, it refuses my password...
Also, I want to recompile my kernel but I can't because it asks for
a second CD, which I don't have. Should I get that?
Thanks in advance to everyone,

Hello everyone.
To switch to ROOT, do

open a console and type:

sudo -i


And to switch to Super User:

su

password

There you go. Goodbye.

Can we do that on a virtual machine?
Thank you in advance.
