  stanleyella said  I haven't got admin access yet on rpi. seems a secret

You can do anything (including overwriting the whole system!) using sudo

If you want to do several things as root you can typically use
sudo bash

and you have a root shell.  You can get out of it using
exit
(or end of file, usually Ctrl-D)

But remember it is easy to ruin your system!!
(which is why they've made root a bit harder to use)
