Try this: sudo -u root apt-get update
here's a link to a man page for apt-get http://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-get and for sudo http://linux.die.net/man/8/sudo to check if you are actually putting in the right PWD, try sudo -u root gedit if you get a gedit window pop up then you are using the correct PWD. Also bear in mind only your privileged account will be able to sudo (ie your admin account).
