If using the terminal, I usually find it easier to enter:

    sudo -s

You will then be prompted for your admin password.

This sets up a root shell, i.e. every command typed will be as if entered by root. Then you don't have to keep remembering to enter "sudo" in front of each command.

To exit the root shell hit <ctrl> D
