    you are always ROOT, unless you used another user

    just login as Root

    or if you are already logged in, then login as SuperUser

    At the logon screen enter root as the user name and then enter the password you assigned to root during the install.

    Is this through the command promp?. If it is type su to switch user and at the password prompt type the root password..

    mireland, Yes I did it through the command prompt but wont work. But if I access a control panel, I will tell me I must be root and it will give me a password box. I type in my password and it works fine, Just not with netconf. It just gives me the "you must be root to access netconf" error.

    Open up the terminal-> type "su"(which means superuser not switch user btw)->type in your root password-> type netconf and do what you need to do.

    might be easier if you re-install Linux on top again
