If you don't have the root password then just `sudo passwd root`.
Alternatively: `sudo su -`.
If someone doesn't want you to have the root password or to change it
like that, then you're already (changing permissions of your own user
& randomly changing permissions of programs) messing around with the
machine more than you should be.
Stroller.
