Jump to Postsudo root is wrong.
sudo allows you to enter a command with root privileges.
To become root you issue the command su.Of course for that you need to know the root password... And on ubuntu at least the root account is disbabled by default, needs to be enabled before …

sudo su
then enter your password, as requested, it should log you as root.Also read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
